Description: | Incomplete early Bronze Age dagger. The flint is dark grey/black in colour and has been worked throughout apart from a small patch of cream coloured cortex remaining in the centre on one side.
The fragment is triangular in plan and a narrow pointed oval in cross-section. The fragment is from the tip of one end, probably the narrower end. The dagger is broken approximabtely one third of the way in to the original length, and has been reworked along the break to form a tool that could have been used as an axe, knife or scraper.
A similar example was discovered at Fiskerton, Lincolnshire and is now in the Ashmolean, Oxford. | Subjects: | Dagger | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
