Title
Bronze Age spearhead
Description
English: A fragment of a copper alloy spearhead, dating to the middle or late Bronze Age (1200-800BC). Only the tip of the spearhead remains, which is triangular in shape, and lozenge in cross section with a worn midrib. The break is worn and irregular, on one side it has been broken higher up the tip revealing the circular hollow socket. An insufficient amount of the spear remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed. The tip has a light green patina, inside the hollow socket is orange corrosion. The fragment measures 24.9mm in length, 11.3mm in width, and 5.6mm in thickness. It weighs 2.83g.
