Object type: SICKLE
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy socketed sickle dating from the Early Iron Age, c.800-700 BC. The crescentic blade is 120 mm long, 35 mm wide and 2 mm thick and has a flat mid-rib on both faces defined by a pair of grooves that are 14 mm apart near the socket and taper to a point 12 mm in from the end of the blade. The outer edge of the sickle blade is thinner at 1 mm and sharper, though damaged, than the internal edge which is 1.5 mm thick, but the internal edge is usually considered to be the cutting edge on sickles so this would appear to be a double-bladed tool. The socket is at right angles to…

Copper alloy Osismii type stater, referred to as the 'cavalier' type in De Jersey (1994) Coinage in Iron Age Armorica on page 8, and now known as the 'type au cavalier armé et au fleuron'. The cavalier armé is the rider on the horse, and the fleuron is the motif in front of the horse, with a boar beneath the horse. On the obverse, the head is probably bearded, shown by lots of little dots on the chin, but this one is rather worn in that area.
The type is listed as DT 2234 in Delestrée and Tache's 'Nouvel Atlas des monnaies gauloises II', while the most recent detailed work on the…
