Description: | A copper-alloy probable blade fragment. All edges are incomplete due to wear and old breaks, the cross-section is triangular with one thinner edge and one thicker rounded edge. The fragment is rectangular in shape 35.33mm in length, 18.73mm in width and 3.14mm in thickness. Dark green patina patches of active corrosion.
Colin Pendleton has examined this fragment and suspects that it could be from the end of a single edged knife with a slightly curved back of either Late Bronze Age 1(circa 1300-1100 BC) or LBA 3 (c1000-800 BC) date (after O'Connor 1980). Or, its just possible from the tip of a sickle with a triangular cross-section (which are also quite unusual) of Mid or Late BA date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
