Description: | A small bronze side looped spearhead middle Bronze Age in date, some loss to the socket, otherwise complete. Rounded lozenge-form mid rib, plain blade with some linear grooves/grazes. The condition is quite poor due to patches of invasive green corrosive encrustations. The side loops are very slight and the perforations are irregular, though again corrosion obscures their true shape. The patination varies from a medium to dark brown. The soil from within the socket is of a sandy nature. This spearhead is unusually small in size and only a few examples of this size and date are known. 118.07mm in length, 21.02mm in width across the blade, 16.71mm in width across the socket, 44.07g in weight. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
