Bronze Age dagger |

| Description |
English: A late Bronze Age bronze sword fragment of Ewart Park type, belonging to the Ewart Park metalworking Industry, corresponding to Needham's (1996) Period 7, c. 950 - 750BC
The sword is fragmentary and comprises the base of the hilt and top of the blade, with a surviving length of 49.78mm and a weight of 35.8g. The object is sub-lozenge shaped in plan and lozenge shaped in cross-section. Each end terminates with a break which occurred during antiquity. The object has a central mid-rib which measures 6.93mm thick. Two opposing rivet holes survive on the shoulder one of which is incomplete. One rivet hole has been infilled with what is probably iron pan from the soil which has concreted in the hole. In the centre of the mid-rib on one face is a large sub-circular pit which is probably the result of a casting flaw. The object has a dark brown to green patina and is corroded in places. Similar hilt fragments were recorded in the Petters late Bronze Age metalwork assemblage (Needham 1990:52-53). Plate 4 (Needham 1990:52) shows two examples of Ewart Park swords with omega-shaped indentations similar to the 'worn through rivet hole' on this example. |
