Description: | An incomplete blade, probably from a middle to late Bronze Age tanged knife (MacGregor, 1987, p.110). The object is broken at both ends. The wider top end represents the point at which the handle would originally have been attached. At this point the surface is flat and there is the suggestion of part of a small circular rivet hole, plus orangey-brown staining, possibly from mineralised wood. The handle section narrows gradually into the blade, which has a central vertical ridge on both sides and tapers slightly towards the now-missing point. The object is bent and corroded. It measures 88.2mm long by up to 19.1mm wide and 4.3mm thick. It weighs 19.43g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
