Description: | A copper-alloy fragment of a slightly flanged tang and blade, probably from a tanged knife. The tang narrows towards the butt end and is flat apart from slightly raised edge flanges. The edges of the tang are squared in section. The junction between the tang and the blade is badly damaged, there is a suggestion of two small side notches on one edge but these are probably due to damage. The blade is mostly missing, and bent at the break, which may be recent. The butt of the balde is elliptcial in section and the buttend is missing due to an ancient break. Condition otherwise is quite poor with extensive patches of green invasive corrosion. Elsewhere it is patinated brown/green. This knife is probably middle or late bronze age in date.
