Description: | Iron Knife. Wrought iron whittle tang knife with V section blade of length c.100mm whose flat back aligns with that of the tang, of length c.65mm. The lower edge of the blade joins the tang diagonally, and has an angled back at its tip which meets the upward curve of the cutting edge, albeit this form might be the result of sharpening, cf. Manning Type 18b. The tang tapers towards a pointed end whose lower edge is curved. Th tip of the blade is bent. This object is robust and well-preserved, making its comparison with objects typically recovered in execrable condition difficult; if the suggested Roman date is sustained this might argue its recent disturbance from a sealed context. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410.Length (overall as found): 171mm, Width: 31.0mm, Thickness: 6.7mm, Weight: 93.24gms.
