Title
Bronze Age spear: Spear fragment
Description
English: A fragment of a copper alloy Mid - Late Bronze Age spearhead. The fragment has lost all its diagnostic features and so the classification cannot be further refined. The fragment comprises a short section of the spear blade, including the lozenge sectioned central mid-rib and the incomplete blades to either side. There is a slight tapering of the mid rib visible. The rest of the spearhead including all of the socket is missing. The surface is pitted with corrosion, but a shiny brown patina remains over most surfaces.
Although only a fragment of the spearhead remains, the mid-rib is high and this is more common on spearheads of Middle Bronze Age date (c. 1600-1001 BC).
