Sword
Unique ID: LIN-A55072
Object type certainty: Certain
A fragment of a late Bronze Age copper alloy sword. The fragment appears to be from the tip end of the sword. The fragment is a pointed oval in cross-section and tapers in plan. The surface is worn and pitted, with a mid-green-brown patina. Either end has a straight break that is well patinated and looks more like an intentional cut rather than an accidental break.
