The metal object appears to be a blade shaped iron object, measuring
\napproximately 18cm in length. The tip of the blade appears to have been
\nworn and is blunt and slightly asymmetrical in appearance. Photographs of
\nthe object were sent to J\u00f6rn Schuster (Archaeological Artefacts Specialist,
\nWessex Archaeology). Unfortunately J\u00f6rn was not able to provide a more
\ndetailed explanation without undertaking an in-hand examination of the
\nblade. It has been noted that the blade shares some distinct similarities
\nwith a blade reported through the EH\/BMAPA protocol which was
\ndiscovered at Cemex's Northfleet wharf in April 2007. The blade was
\nslightly longer than that shown here, and had a more defined tip. Through
\nexamining the photographs of the previous blade, J\u00f6rn suggested that it
\nmay have been part of an agricultural tool such as a plough. It was further
\nsuggested by Phil Andrews, Wessex Archaeology's post medieval
\nspecialist, that the previous blade was not particularly old and appeared to
\nbe post medieval in date. However, as the shape of farming and
\nagricultural tools has not evolved significantly in the last 2500 years, it is
\npossible that the blade was made as early as the Iron Age. It is quite
\npossible that this blade provided a similar agricultural function as that
\nsuggested for the blade reported through the protocol in 2007.<\/p>","notes":"
