Iron hammer headThis iron hammer head is part of a hoard of native and Roman objects placed in a cauldron and deposited in Carlingwark Loch in Kirkcudbrightshire sometime between 80 and 200 AD. It was used for metalworking. The well-preserved hammer head has a slot in the middle for the handle. It is often difficult to distinguish between a Roman and native tool. The Romans had better access to raw materials and craftsmen, but the types of tools were similar. Tools were also traded and copied. Iron was a valuable resource.
