Description: | An incomplete basal-looped socketed spearhead from the middle Bronze Age (1500BC to 1150BC). The spearhead consists of two fragments which fit together. Length of adjoined fragments: 94.2mm; width: 23.0mm; mass: 34.4g. The spearhead has basal loops and is broken across the socket and tip. The socket, which almost stretches to the extant tip of the fragment, is exposed due to loss of material from the spearhead. In cross-section, the spearhead is lozenge shaped towards the tip, but more circular towards the base, although much material is missing from the base. The socket appears to have had a circular internal cross-section, although this is incomplete. The side wings are missing. The fragment has a pitted brown patina, and on the substantial areas where the original surface is missing, there is a more uneven and pitted brown appearance. Basal-looped spearheads are dated to the Middle Bronze Age (1500BC to 1150BC).
