County: Gloucestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mid Bronze Age side-looped leaf-shaped spearhead (1500-1150 BC). The spearhead has a leaf-shaped blade where the widest point (width 24.21mm) is low down on the blade near the socket. There is a very pronounced, angular midrib with a lozengiform cross-section becoming round towards the socket. The midrib runs from the tip and extends into the socket (length: 94.28mm). There is a groove running parallel to the cutting edge alongside the edge bevel. Notches and pits are present along the cutting edge but is difficult to determine if this damage is ancient or more modern. The external s…

Complete Middle Bronze Age side-looped spearhead of Greenwell & Brewis Class IV, with badly damaged blades and coated recently in preservative, giving the spearhead a very shiny appearance. The socket is 17mm in diameter (internal 14mm) with a mid-rib equidistant between the casting seams on both sides. This extends the length of the spearhead. The socket narrows over 56mm to 8x8mm just below the wings, where it is square in section. The loops are slightly lop-sided and roughly two thirds between socket end and wings, nearer to the latter. They are oval in section, looping out and …
