Description: | Copper AlloySpearhead fragment. Cast triangular point with a central mid rib, probably from a leaf-shaped spearhead. The barbed appearance is misleading, and probably results from the loss of the lower blade and socket of a spearhead with lunate cut-outs at the widest point of the blade (compare with P.J. Davey, Bronze Age Metalwork from Lincolnshire, Archaeologia Vol. 104, 51-127, [1973], no. 389, from Burton upon Stather, North Lincolnshire). Suggested date: Later Bronze Age, 1150-800 BC.Length: 64.2mm, Width: 24.8mm, Thickness (mid-rib): 3.3mm, Weight: 9.82gms.
