Title |
Late Bronze Age chisel |
||
Description |
English: Probably an incomplete Late Bronze Age chisel or leather-working knife dating from the 10th-9th century BC. Only the blade and part of the collar survive. The artefact was composed of a wide, triangular/crescent-shaped blade and a rectangular-sectioned tang. Tang and blade were separated by a now very worn collar.
These artefacts tend to be identified as chisels, i.e. wood-working tools, such as in <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/845449" title="View details for WREX-9F314E">WREX-9F314E</a>. However, they resemble (in size and shape) Earliest Iron Age so-called socketed chisels (<a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/785093" title="View details for SUR-2B05A8">SUR-2B05A8</a>) which have now been reinterpreted as leather-working knives. Thus, the earlier tanged examples may be better identified as leather-working knives owing to their often thin, wide blades (<a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/846727" title="View details for IOW-383C47">IOW-383C47</a> and <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/806927" title="View details for WAW-CEC22C">WAW-CEC22C).</a> The chisel measures 37.9mm in length, 41.1mm in width, 5.7mm at maximum thickness at the tang, and weighs 19.61g. Similar knives are still in used today: <a href="http://www.knipknives.com/leather.php">http://www.knipknives.com/leather.php</a> |
