Title
Bronze Age spearhead
Description
English: A complete Late Bronze Age copper-alloy pegged socketed spear, dating to the period 1150 to 800 BC. The spear consists of a tapering leaf-shaped blade. The blade is lentoidal in cross section with an oval-section mid-rib which gradually widens to form the socket. The socket is cylindrical in section and hollow with an internal diameter of 19mm. It possesses a circular perforation on half way down its length on the same plain as the blade. There is a small, circular-section object threaded through the peg holes. It is not clear what the composition of the objects is, whether it is the original peg, or a twig which has threaded itself through the perforations. Each perforation measures 3mm in diameter. The spear measures 109mm in length. The blade has a maximum width of 33mm.
