County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete and worn copper-alloy blade of Bronze Age date, perhaps from a knife, rapier or similar item. The fragment is triangular in form, tapering towards a tip but terminating in old breaks at both ends. It is pointed oval in section and with a slightly flattened mid rib. Both surfaces have extensive corrosion and post-depositional damage resulting in areas of the cutting edge now missing due to old breaks. It measures 64.54mm in length, 15.98mm in width, 4.71mm in thickness and 17.17g in weight. This object is of probable Bronze Age date, c.2550-800 BC.

An incomplete cast copper alloy blade, of Middle Bronze Age dating (1500 CAL BC to 1150 CAL BC - Needham's Period 5).
The blade fragment is sub trapezoidal in plan, and lentoid in cross section. The blade tapers towards either edge. The edges to the top and bottom are old, pre depostional breaks. The remains of a circular rivet hole are present on the top edge. No decoration is present on either the front or back of the blade.

An incomplete copper-alloy object, possibly the tip of a blade of Bronze Age date. The fragment is triangular in form, tapering to a worn and rounded tip. It is pointed oval in cross section with slightly flattened mid rib. The entire object has very worn surfaces, some pitting and copper-alloy corrosion. It measures 25.50mm in length, 16.42mm in width, 1.90mm in thickness and 2.69g in weight. The precise form and function of this object remains uncertain. It is likely to be the tip from a blade or similar item, perhaps dating as early as the Bronze Age although due to its preservatio…

County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of copper alloy which appears to be an incomplete section of a blade. It is possible that this fragment is a small part of a blade of Bronze Age date (c.2350-801BC). Weight is 14.3g, incomplete length is 29.65mm, width is 25.31mm and thickness is 4.76mm. The cross section was probably originally a flattish oval with the edges tapering out very thin, now mostly missing. The upper and lower surfaces do not seem to have had a higher point/ridged longitudinal centre despite the presence of corrosion product and some patches where the original surface seems to be missing.

An incomplete and very worn fragment from a cast copper-alloy blade of probable Bronze Age date. It is oval sectioned with slight mid rib, tapering to extremely worn and incomplete cutting or blade edges, their precise form now uncertain due to old breaks.

Description
Copper alloy butt and lower blade fragment of a dirk or rapier that fits with fragments Nos. 2, 3 & 4. The blade has a lenticular cross-section and clear central ridge that slightly expands towards the butt. The edges of the blade are chipped and eroded. The broken end is intentionally bent in one direction. It is not possible to assess the age of the break as it is obscured by a white substance, possibly modern adhesive. The surfaces of the fragment have patches of corrosion but the original patina of the blade is still visible across a considerable area.

A Bronze Age copper alloy blade, possible from a tanged knife. The blade is triangular in section and has an indication of a shoulder. Striations suggest that it had a bevelled edge. There is also the suggestion of a handle where the lengthwise striations stop abruptly. There is pitting and corrosion on the blade but much of the dark green surface survives.
