Description: | Fragment from near the tip of a copper alloy spear of Middle to Late Bronze Age date. A short section of the spear survives, the very tip missing due to old breaks. It is lozenge shape in section with a deep hollow casting that is now filled with clay. The wings and midrib are extremely narrow and this suggests parallels with Bronze Age side-looped socketed spear heads. The fragment is worn with traces of a brown patina and extensive pale green corrosion on all surfaces. It measures 38.27mm in length, 10.48mm in width, 6.92mm in thickness, and weighs 8.12g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
