Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy spearhead dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC. Only the tip of the spear remains which is triangular in plan and lozenge in section. The very tip has been lost to old worn breaks and a deep socket is present (18.9mm).
An insufficient portion of the spear remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed, though it is probably comparable with the range of spearheads in Davis Groups 6-11.
The metal has a mid-green patina and is pitted and worn. The spear is 37.6mm long, 12.7mm wide, 9.2mm thick a…
