Description: | Fragment of copper alloy middle to late Bronze Age blade. This fragment is subsquare in plan and a flattened lentoid in section. There is no median rib or ridge. It is 28.3mm long, 33.8mm wide, 4.48mm thick and weighs 19.84g. The two cutting edges are worn and chipped. The break edges are regular and worn. This might suggest that the blade was deliberately cut in antiquity, perhaps for inclusion in a scrap or 'founders' hoard. The surface is abraded and the original surface is patchy. It is brown in patina. Exposed surfaces are light green.
