Description: | Cast bronze triangular perforated racloir or hog-backed knife, of late Bronze Age date. The object is triangular in plan and hexagonal in cross-section. The object is thickest in the centre and tapers to a sharp cutting edge on each side. In the centre of the object is a rounded triangular perforation. This object can be dated to the Blackmoor/Ewart park phase of Bronze Age metalwork, (c.1,020-800BC). Triangular perforated knives are more common from the south-eastern region of England. An example of this object can be found on p61, Adkins and Adkins, (1982). Another example which can be found on the database is SOMDOR-FFE225.
