Early - Middle Bronze Age dagger fragment |
||
| Description |
English: Fragment of a Bronze Age cast copper alloy dagger blade. The point, hilt end and sides are lost to old breaks. The blade has a central oval spine flanked by slightly raised bands with three parallel incised lines running along the length. The bands appear to be on both sides but one side is very corroded and they are harder to distinguish. The spine widens evenly along the lengh of the piece but also thins indicating the blade comes from a hilted rather than socketed item. It is pitted on both sides due to heavy corrosion in the past although now appears to be stable. It is 64.2mm long, 30.9mm wide, 5.9mm thick and weighs 37.84 grams.
Peter Reavill (Herefordshore and Shropshire FLO) comments: it is most likely to be a dagger from the later Early Bronze Age (EBA) - Middle Bronze Age (MBA) - probably EBA III to Acton Park Phase (MBAII). Similar daggers can be seen in NGMW Guide to the Bronze Age collections (Savory 1980) cat no:240 from Caerphilly, Glamorgan (dated to MBAII) and from a hoard discovered at Ebnal, Shropshire consisting of a developed flat axe and dagger. cat 260. The latter dagger is described as of ogival (camerton) type with central thickenening bevelled edge and four grooves to outer blade (p115). |
