Description: | Copper alloy Spearhead fragment. Cast blade of a spearhead of ogival section with a pronounced mid rib extending almost to the extreme tip (which is lost). The object is broken as the blade narrows to approach a socket (lost), where it is already of hollow construction. The cutting edges of the blade are abraded, more so on one side than the other, and probably relatively recently. Suggested date: Middle to Late Bronze Age, 1600-800 BC.Length: 78.7mm, Width: 18.7mm, Thickness (mid rib): 8.2mm, Thickness (at break near socket): 1.9mm, Weight: 21.81gms.
