However the break across the tang looks old.The length of the incomplete knife is 71mm. The tang is 17.5mm wide, expanding into small shoulders above the blade, which at this point is 20mm wide. Over 57mm this narrows to 11.5mm wide.The patina is dark brown and shiny and only slightly pitted. The knife has a broad mid-rib which expands into the edges of the tang just above the shoulders.Weighs 11.49g. Tanged knives date to the Wilburton phase (LBA2), reaching into Early Ewart Park (LBA3) : c.1000-850 BC.
