Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper alloy fragment (tip section) of a socketed spearhead, dating from the mid to late Bronze Age c. 1500 - 800 BC. The socket is roughly sub oval in form and stops at 4 cm from the point. The side blades have been heavily abraded in the ground, loosing much of their shape and cutting edges. Now a dark black/green surface has been 'oiled', disguising the original patina.
