Description: | Short, very narrow, length of the blade from a copper alloy rapier with fluted blade cross-section. Multiple hammer marks and bending demonstrate deliberate breakage - which suggests the incorporation of a middle Bronze Age rapier into a late Bronze Age hoard. Dark deep brown patina. No obvious recent damage. The blade edge, where it srvives undamaged, is slightly rounded and relatively blunt. Surviving length 21mm, width 16mm, thickness 6mm. It should be noted that a bronze gouge has also been found (in 1993) on this mainly Iron Age/Roman site. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
