Bronze Age bronze double-edged tanged and riveted knife of Middle to Late Bronze Age date The cast knife blade is fragmentary by the tang and top of the blade (with a surviving length of 85.0mm and weight of 14.2g). The tang (48mm long) is narrowest and thinnest at the butt (10.6mm wide and 0.9mm thick) which has a slight indent at the centre. Below the butt is a sub-circular perforation (4.0mm – 4.3mm diameter positioned 5.3mm below the butt). The sides of the tang are straight and gently divergent towards the top of the blade (reaching a width and thickness of 14.9mm and 2.8m…

The socket has a sub-oval mouth (21.8mm x 12.7mm external, 17.6mm x 10.0mm and 33.2mm deep) and has gently concave, waisted sides (with a minimum width of 18.6mm). The socket faces are gradually convergent towards the blade and have two perforations to secure handle, the upper perfora…

Bronze Age knife or razor probably of Late Bronze Age date The knife or razor is of crescent form and appears to be near-complete but is perhaps missing a tang (with a length of 51.3mm, a height of 40.1mm and a weight of 43.9g). The blade edge is concave with a deep-arched back. The blade tips at both ends may have been elongated, as suggested shallowing to the curve at the back. One tip has a small semi-circular notch (3.3mm diameter), possibly the remnants of a rivet attachment hole and if correct, may suggest a slight tang on that side. There is an irregular long notch (12.5m long…

Early Bronze Age bronze knife-dagger with midrib (Gerloff, 1975, p 168) The dagger is incomplete, missing some of the butt, areas of the blade edge and the tip. The dagger has a surviving length of 67.9mm and has a weight of 8.9g. The butt would have had two rivet-holes for hafting; the better preserved rivet hole has a diameter of 3.0mm. The butt has broken through both rivet-holes and the surviving area of the butt is straight and thin with a thickness of 0.5mm. The dagger has a maximum surviving width of 31.4mm. The midrib is widest at the butt (10mm) and gradually narrows with cur…

Cast copper alloy leaf-shaped blade (length 63mm, width 19mm, thickness 2mm, weight 7.9g). The edges are slightly bevelled and the blade has a very slight but relatively wide midrib. One end of the blade apparently tapers into a tang which is now largely missing. The blade is in poor condition, its tip is bent and its edges are badly damaged and notched. This damage makes it difficult to evaluate whether the apparent tang is a genuine feature or simply a fortuitous break. The blade may possibly be an example of a rare type of Early to Middle Bronze Age knife known as a Class I or …

Plano-convex flint knife, probably of Early Bronze Age II-III date, corresponding to Needham's (1996) Period 3 c. 2,000 - 1,700BC. The knife is 51.7mm long and may have suffered some damage to the proximal end. The knife is widest about the mid point with a width of 20.6mm and a maximum thickness of 6.9mm. Both faces have been finely pressure flaked, although, as is typical there is more extensive pressure flaking on the dorsal surface. The knife was made on mid grey flint, which has patinated a pale grey to white. The knife weighs 8.2g. Plano-convex flint knives are often found assoc…

Late Bronze Age socketed knife of Thorndon type in good condition. The blade is leaf-shaped, resembling in miniature swords of the period. The blade edge is bevelled on both sides with a slightly concave profile. The socket is oval in section and on the exterior expands at both ends, while the interior is parallel sided. The blade and socket, characteristically for the type, meet at a straight line. There is a circular attachment rivet midway along the socket, the rivet is still in place on one face. Near the rim beneath the handle is a smaller hole, possibly a secondary attempt to se…
