Title
Bronze age spear
Description
English: A copper-alloy side-looped socketed spearhead dating to the Middle Bronze Age (1600-1000 BC) of Greenwell and Brewis Type IV. There is damage to one half of the socket opening and to one of the side-loops. One of the wings is slightly bent and the tip of the spear is missing. The breaks do not appear to be old. The blade is 'flame shaped' and what remains of it is 37.20mm long (it would have been c.64.35mm). The widest part of the blade is 19.70mm. The mid-rib of the blade is an extension of the socket and extends to the broken tip of the spear. At the base of the blade this mid-rib is 9.55mm thick. From the opening to the base of the blade the socket is 43.50 in length and tapers in diameter from 15.15mm to 9.45mm. The thickness of the metal is 2.35mm. There are two side-loops on opposite sides of the socket, about half way between the base of the blade and the socket opening, on the same axes as the wings of the blade. Only one is intact and the perforation is not visible due to corrosion.
