Title
Bronze Age dagger
Description
English: A flaked flint dagger of early Bronze Age date, 2,500-1,500BC. The object is a pointed oval in plan and lozenge shaped in cross-section. The flint is flaked on each face with covering retouch. Along each long edge and around the point is short, parallel low-angle retouch. The implement has been made on a grey-brown to dark grey flint.

Dimensions: 141mm in lenght, 47mm in width (at centre), 6mm thick (at centre), 10mm in width (at the point), 14mm in width (at the butt end).

A similar dagger which has been recorded on the PAS database is SF-AFF8C5, <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/113566">https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/113566</a> which states 'Flint daggers were introduced as part of the so-called 'beaker package,' although Upper Palaeolithic forms are also known. They are likely to represent flint copies of the earliest metal daggers and date from the European Copper Age and British Early Bronze Age, circa 2500-2000BC. They represent one of the finest and rearest types of flint implements of the early Bronze Age in this country', (SF-AFF8C5 ).
