Description: | Cast iron knife dating from the Roman to Medieval period, (45-1500AD). The knife is tanged and has a maximum surviving length of 165mm. The tang is of rectangular section and is 7.34mm wide. The back of the knife continues the line of the tang towards the tip. The blade curves upwards towards the tip. Knives such as this were used from the Roman through to the Medieval period and are therefore difficult to date. The object is very corroded and has a rough orange-brown patina.
