Description: | Spear head, leaf-shaped with midrib, and socket for handle Was wrongly attributed as being 'Roman' in original catalogue (Reid 1912)
"Bronze spearheads were made throughout the Bronze Age, but most come from the middle and later periods. The later types of spearhead have a socket for hafting and loops or rivets to secure them to the shaft. In Scotland the leaf-bladed form is earliest, followed by triangular bladed types. Later spearheads have a socket extending along the full length of the spearhead. They may have been used in warfare or single combat. This long spearhead has a leaf-shaped blade with straight edges and curved shoulders. The socket has a rivet hole half way down on each side below the blades. This type of spearhead was made in the later Bronze Age, about 1100-750BC, and is thought to have been found in Aberdeenshire."
