Description: | A fragment of a very small bronze projectile, possibly an arrowhead. The tip, most of the socket below and the wings are missing, due to old breaks now worn, although some green corrosion at the tip suggests more recent damage. The surviving fragment is very pocked and damaged, probably due to corrosion. It measures 34mm in surviving length and 13mm in width. It has a rounded lozenge mid-rib and a convex blade. It is patinated deep-brown with traces of pale green corrosive products. Although more are beginning to be found bronze arrowheads are still extremely rare, suggesting limited archery in the later Bronze Age. This is therefore an important find. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
