Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy spear tip probably dating from the Bronze Age circa 1700-800BC.

This is the tip of the spearhead only and has a pronounced spine running down its centre, this is flanked by thin blades that taper to a fine point. The rear of the spear is truncated resulting in the loss of the socket and rear section of the blades. The break is worn. An insufficient amount of the spear remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed.
