Description: | Iron socketed spearhead, probably of Early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date, although it could also be Roman. The artefact is badly corroded and damaged and a more precise date cannot be offered. The blade is leaf-shaped and measures 179.3mm long by a maximum of 18.8mm wide and 4.3mm thick. It is narrow and slender in apperance and runs smoothly into the base, with no obvious shoulders. The base is socketed and contains mineralised wood from the shaft. It is badly damaged and it is therefore difficult to decipher the original form of the socket. Overall, the object measures 251mm long by up to 18.8mm wide and 11.1mm thick at the shaft. The weight is 59.56g. | 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: | 410
