| Title |
Bronze Age copper alloy blade |
||
| Description |
English: Fragment of a copper alloy blade from a small sword or knife probably mid to late Bronze Age 1500 - 800BC as material of a similar date has previously been found in the vicinity. Such a small fragment is difficult to securely identify; it is possibly a Wilburton type from the Late Bronze Age or perhaps a riveted dagger or rapier. The fragment is roughly rectangular with a central ridge and two cutting edges both broken. The top and bottom edges are straight breaks, the patina suggests these are old. In cross section the piece has a central oval ridge from which it tapers in a straight line front and back to each side blade. . The length is 48mm, width is 26mm and thickness is 7mm. Other similar examples on the database are NMS-ABE0C3, SUSS-A6D3F4,<a href="http://database/artefacts/record/id/105284">ESS-9E4D12</a>. |
