Description: | Incomplete copper-alloy dagger of Bronze Age date. The blade is triangular in plan and a very narrow lozenge-shape in section with a faint mid-rib running down the centre of both faces of the blade but ending at the point where the tang starts. The pointed tip of the dagger is missing and the length of the surviving blade from the remaining rounded tip to the shoulders is 67mm. With the surviving part of the tang the dagger measures 74mm long. Traces of the edges of incomplete circular rivet holes can be seen on the tang section. The dagger is a mid-green colour with traces of corrosion on both faces. Daggers of this type are dated to the Middle Bronze Age period c.1500-1100 BC.
