Description: | An incompletecast copper-alloy spear of probable Middle to Late Bronze Age date. Only the tip of the spear survives intact, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The fragment is triangular in form, lozenge shaped in section with a central mid rib. It has very rounded edges, possibly missing the very tip due to old breaks, and there are obvious, heavy hammer marks on the mid rb towards the tip of the spear possibly indicating damage through re-use of the metal at a later date. The surfaces have a dark brown patina that is slightly pitted in places. It measures 34.84mm in length, 17.34mm in width, 7.84mm in thickness and 10.68g in weight. This is the tip from a Bronze Age spear, probably dating to the Middle or Late Bronze Age, c.1,500-800 BC.
