Title
Bronze Age : Spearhead
Description
English: An incomplete copper-alloy socketed spearhead probably dating from the late Bronze Age, about 1100 – 800 BC. Only the tip of the spear remains which is triangular in plan and lozenge in section. The base of the socket can be seen at the broken end of the spear.

The metal has a dark green/brown patina and is worn. The spear is 57.9mm long, 22.7mm wide, 9.7mm thick and weighs 24g.

As this object represents only a small fragment of the spearhead it is not possible to classify the form of the complete object with complete confidence. However, the object's apparent lack of a pronounced midrib might be indicative of the 'hollow blade' type, Davis Group 12, and it is this classification which is tentatively suggested.

Similar objects have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database including NARC-8E2968, IOW-F3883D, and SUR-BB2595.
