Description: | An Early Bronze Age copper tanged dagger associated with the Beaker period (2500-2150 BC). The blade, which is triangular in plan, is very thin and flat. The cutting edge is concave and the tip of the knife is rounded and slightly damaged. The tang is flat in section, plain and has hammered flanges.
This dagger is similar to examples found during the excavation of barrows at Mere, Wiltshire and Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire (Gerloff 1975, 28-29 nos. 6-7 Pl. 1). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -2500
