Description: | A fragment from a copper-alloy knife blade of Middle or Late Bronze Age date. The majority of the knife is missing due to old breaks, and all that remains is a small section of the blade with missing exterior edges and worn surfaces. It is lozenge shaped in section with slightly concave surfaces, the remains of possible curved shoulders suggesting it is from just below the butt of the blade. Dtr. Colin Pendleton (pers. comm.) suggests this is from a Bronze Age knife rather than a larger dirk, dagger, rapier or sword. The fragment measures 20.95mm in length, 22.23mm in width, 5.87mm in thickness, and weighs 7.56g. See Pendleton, 1999 fig. 51 no. 206 and fig. 52 no. 213 for similar Middle to Late Bronze Age knife blades.
