Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete copper-alloy arrowhead or spearhead of unknown date, probably middle Bronze Age date, c. 1500 - 1000 BC or possibly later into the Roman period. Only the tip of the spear remains which is triangular in plan and lozenge in section with mid-ribs. No socket is present. An insufficient portion of the spear remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed.
