Description: | A late Bronze Age tanged knife, almost complete save for the rounded tip of the blade. The knife is 146.20mm long and measures 24.04mm across the blade. The thickness of the blade is 2.24mm and the tang is c3mm thick across its widest point.The blade, which is both unpatinated and still sharp, tapers outwards towards a rounded shoulder which leads to the narrower tang. Corrosion products on the tang and shoulder appear suggestive of the remains of a handle. The date range for this type of knife is c1100 to c800BC.
