Title
Bronze Age : Spear
Description
English: An incomplete copper-alloy spearhead of middle Bronze Age date, c. 1500 - 1000 BC. Only the tip of the spear remains which is triangular in plan and lozenge in section with mid-ribs. No socket is present.

An insufficient portion of the spear remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed.

The metal has a mid-green patina and is pitted and worn. The spear is 38.7mm long, 15.3mm wide, 10.5mm thick and weighs 12.7g.
