The socket is triangular and tapers from the base of the socket to the tip of the spearhead, where it forms a high rib separating the blades. The tip of the rib is slightly flattened and has a series of striations where it has been filed down to form the point. On both sides (25mm above the base) is an expanded pierced lug that forms an integral loop.The aperture at the base (16mm in diameter).This artefact dates to 1500-1150BC, see WAW-DC8222 for further discussion.
