Description: | the tip of a Middle Bronze Age spearhead. It is narrow with a pronounced mid-rib, and 14mm of the socket survives into the head. The edges are worn due to invasive corrosion with surfaces also affected, especially on one face.The survivng surfaces are patinated to a deep brown, but elsewhere the spearhead is a pale-medium green. The mid-rib has a relatively angular lozenge-shaped cross-section which suggests a Middle Bronze Age date. It measures 75mm in length, 16mm in width, and is 8mm in thickness, weighing 13g. It is probably from a side or basal looped spear head. | 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: | 1500
