The mouth of the socket, the edges and end of the blade and much of the original surface of the spearhead are missing. The side loops on the socket are also missing; however, their original position, approximately midway along the incomplete  socket, is indicated by the surviving stubs of the loops (set c.8-9mm apart). The socket continues for a short way into the blade. There is no evidence to suggest that the spearhead was originally decorated. Surviving length 76mm, surviving length of blade 41mm, maximum surviving external diameter of socket 13.5mm, maximum surviving width of blade 13mm, maximum thickness of midrib 8mm. An example of Ehrenberg's Class IV spearhead cf. Ehrenberg 1977, 7-9","A small example of a Class IV side-looped type of Bronze Age spearhead (sometimes known as the socket-looped type, for example Savory 1980). It is interesting to note that the spearhead blade lodged in the vertebra of one of the tow inhumed individuals excavated at Tormarton, Gloucestershire was also a small example of a side-looped spearhead. In her study of the spearheads from Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, Ehrenberg noted that examples of the type from her study area ranged in length from 90mm to 210mm (1997,7); when complete the St Nicholas spearhead's length  probably fell within the lower part of that range. Side-looped spearheads are a Middle Bronze Age type whose main vogue can be dated to the Acton Park and Taunton metalwork phases (c.1500 BC to c.1250 BC) although later examples are known (Needham et al. 1997, 84-86).","","2001-07-30 00:00:00","2011-02-24 12:19:17","3","","1","2001-02-01","","","","","","1","","","3","","","","","pmacdonald","Philip MacDonald","PUBLIC","dpett","Daniel Pett","Copper alloy","","","","Cast","","Incomplete","","Certain","BRONZE AGE","","","Metal detector","","","","","","","","","","","ST0974","ST3017","ST07SE","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","",
