An incomplete cast copper alloy barbed and tanged arrowhead, dating to the Bronze Age, between 1350 - 1050 BC. The arrowhead is triangular in form. In antiquity the object would have had two barbs and a central tang. Only one barb is now complete. The remaining barb is broader at the body and tapers to a rounded damaged point. The upper end of the object is pointed. There is a central shallow rib running longitudinally from the point to the broken tang. This is seen in both faces of the arrowhead. The object has a green coloured surface patina.  The…

A copper-alloy fragment of what may be a Bronze Age arrowhead. The object is lozenge shaped in section with two 'wings'. It tapers gradually to a point, although point is somewhat blunt. The arrowhead is solid, although it is clearly broken before the attachment end so it is difficult to determine whether it would originally have been socketed or tanged. It measures 37.99 mm long, 10.3 mm thick and weighs 7.7 grams. It has a rough green patina.

An incomplete cast copper alloy barbed and tanged arrowhead, dating to the Bronze Age, between 2150 - 800 BC (length: 42mm; width at barbs: 28mm; thickness: 2mm; weight: 7.67g). The haft end of a flat arrowhead with bevelled blade edges to the left and right on the outside of the barbs, which is also visible on both sides of the artefact. The barbs are both broken but have a surviving length of 5mm (measured at the longest surviving barb), a width of 7mm with a thickness of 2mm. The outside blade edges of the arrowhead slant inwards to taper towards the blade tip, which is no long…

A slightly incomplete and broken hollow-based arrowhead (length: 22.3mm; width: 19.4mm; thickness: 3.4mm; weight: 1.28g), probably dating between 2500-1400 BC. The arrowhead has been extensively knapped with areas of re-touch along the egdes. One of the barbs is slightly incomplete, but it is difficult to identify whether this is a recent break.Many of these arrowheads appear in Ireland and the distributional evidence suggests that some of those found in Britain were either imports from Ireland or local copies. Only one certain hollow-based arrowhead in an associated context occurs …

A cast bronze arrowhead, possibly dating to the late Bronze Age between c. 1800-700 BC (length: 51.4mm; width: 15.8mm; thickness: 10.3mm; diameter of socket: 11.1mm; weight: 16.05g). Even though the artefact is badly corroded and broken at tip and socket, the fairly prominent midrib with blade wings are still visible. The artefact has a circular socketed shaft which is open into the hollow cavity of the head. As well as general amounts of corrosion, there is a significant amount of bronze disease present in the bottom of the hollow shaft. There is also a small hole along the line o…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint tanged arrowhead (length: 30.5mm; width: 17mm; thickness: 3.5mm; weight: 1.65g). A small crudely worked arrowhead with more extensive working down one edge. The head is rather uneven and tang is very small and fragile (length: 8mm; width: 6mm) and tapers down into a point. There is remains of the original core surface on one side. This arrowhead is clearly paralleld with those of the Sutton 'a' type which mainly occur in the Upper Thames region, Cotswolds and the Midlands (Stephen Greeen, 1980, page 119).

The arrowhead appears to be incomplete. There has been damage to one edge and the tip of the arrowhead, therefore the arrowhead would have been originally longer and triangular in shape.
