Description: | A small bronze tanged and collared chisel/leather working knife with a very narrow chisel ended blade. Measuring 54.5mm in length, 6mm in width at the cutting edge and 9mm in width at the collar. The cutting edge has lost one corner, due to an old break and, like the rest of the implement is very rounded and worn. The cutting edge is therefore now relatively blunt. The rectangular tang is on a different alignment to the cutting edge, the end of the tang is missing due to a possibly recent break. This chisel is patinated dark brown/green with soma small paler green patches of active corrosion. Tanged leather working knives/chisels are dated to Wilburton late Bronze Age 2 or LBA3, most being of LBA3 (Ewart) they occur in England, Ireland and Northern France. | 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: | -1000
