Cast copper alloy fragment of a Late Bronze Age sword, sub-rectangular in plan and profile and 'flying saucer'-shaped (stepped lozenge) in section, from the Carp's Tongue complex, dating from c.1000-800 BC. The blade is incised on both faces with a pair of parallel longitudinal grooves, approximately 4.7mm in from the edge, at the junction of the oval-section midrib and the bevelled blade edges. The grooves taper as the blade edge does, towards the rounded broken edge, which is not the tip of the blade. The grooves border a central raised mid-rib which is 14 mm wide and 6 mm thick, me…

Fragment of a cast copper alloy blade, possibly the point from a Bronze Age sword, kite-shaped in plan and lozenge-shaped in profile. The broken end appears to have been deliberately cut to create a pointed apex which may have been to improve hafting if the fragment was re-used as some sort of perforating tool. This break is not typical of the deliberate breaking up of swords into fragments for deposition, which is often clean and perpendicular to the edge (Matt Knight pers comm). None of the original surface remains, as the fragment is so corroded and pitted from being in the sea, an…

Two fragments of a cast copper alloy sword, part of the hilt and part of the blade, which are not connected. The hilt is lozenge-shaped in plan and in section, broken between the hilt tang and its shoulders at one edge and between the shoulders and the beginning of the blade at the other edge. There is a raised and rounded mid-rib that rises about 3 mm above the surface of the hilt on both broken edges and averages about 12 mm in width, and a rivet hole that is half way along the angled outer edge and 3.5 mm in diameter. The blade is rectangular in plan and lozenge-shaped in section, …

Fragment of a cast copper alloy sword blade, rectangular in plan and lozenge-shaped in profile and in section, with a raised but flattened mid-rib that rises about 1 mm above the surface of the blade on both sides and averages about 10 mm in width. Both cutting edges are worn and incomplete and the perpendicular edges to these are broken so that the original length of the blade is unknown as well as the position of this fragment along it, though it is likely between the hilt and the middle of the sword as this is where the blade tapers before expanding at the mid point. The fragment m…

Fragment of a cast copper alloy sword blade, sub rectangular in plan and lozenge-shaped in profile and section. Both cutting edges are worn and incomplete and the perpendicular edges to these are broken so that the original length of the blade is unknown as well as the position of this fragment along it, though it is at the end that tapers towards the tip or point, as any raised area has flattened out in section. The surface of the blade has more corrosion product and is more pitted on one face than the other, probably due to exposure. There are also gashes and later damage on both fa…

Fragment of a cast copper alloy sword blade, rectangular in plan and profile and lozenge-shaped in section. Both cutting edges are worn and incomplete and the perpendicular edges to these are broken so that the original length of the blade is unknown as well as the position of this fragment along it, though it is at the end that tapers towards the tip, as any raised area has flattened out in section. The smooth dark green patina survives better on one face of the blade than the other, which has an uneven surface of raised areas of corrosion product. The lozenge-shaped section of the…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy sword fragment with rounded point end and broken upper blade with the rest of the blade and hilt missing. The sides of the blade come to a point and there is a central ridge running up and down the blade, resembling the Ewart Park type sword shape in plan, which widens towards the bottom half of the blade. The fragment is lozenge-shaped in section, without a pronounced central ridge, which is typical of this type of sword section. The sword fragment is 47 mm long, 38 mm wide, 1.8 mm thick at the rounded end and 7.5 mm thick at the broken blade end, and 52.84…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published
Copper alloy Ewart Park sword fragment. The central rib is remaining and half of the blade edge is worn away on either side. Pronounced edge bevels on both sides. The fragment is tapered in plan which suggests that this is a fragment approaching the tip end of the sword blade. The blade is lozenge-shaped in section with a substantial but broad rib which suggests it is likely to date from the Ewart Park phase of the late Bronze Age (c.1000-800 BC).

Copper alloy fragment of a sword blade with mainly the central rib remaining and half the blade on either side of the rib worn away. One end is tapered which suggests that this is a fragment from the tip end of the sword blade. The blade is lozenge-shaped in section with a substantial rib which suggests it is likely to date from the Ewart Park phase (c.1000-800 BC).
