Description: | A complete wrought iron knife, dating from the Roman - Medieval period, between AD 43 - 1300 (length: 169mm; width: 24mm; thickness at blade: 2.5mm; thickness at tang: 6mm; weight: 33.3g).The knife blade is sub-rectangular in plan with a pointed tip and flat section. The back edge of the knife blade is straight sided along most of its length before curving down slightly to the tip. The blade edge is also straight. The rectangular sectioned tang protrudes outwards from the top corner of the blade's back edge (length of tang: 70.5mm; width of tang: 9.5mm; thickness: 4.5mm) and tapers to a narrow square-sectioned point at the end. Overall, the artefact is in a corroded but fair condition.
