Fragment of a Middle to Late Bronze Age spear. Only part of the blade located near to the terminal (tip-end) survives. It is lozenge in section and has a pronounced rib running down the centre on both sides. The entire perimeter is damaged. Much of the blade is pitted with bright green patches of corrosion, however, the original surface is smooth and has a mid-brown patina. One of the breaks is irregular and does not appear to have been done intentionally; the other, however, is more regula, straight, and might be the result of having been cut. 38mm x 21mm x 4mm. 12.58g.

A fragment of a copper alloy spear probably dating to the Middle or Late Bronze Age (c. 1500-800 BC). The fragment consists of the tip of the spear blade, which is triangular in plan. The tip is slender with a pronounced middle rib which tapers to the edges in 'wings', creating a rounded lozenge-shaped cross section. The fragment terminates in an irregular old break. The spear tip measures 34.2mm long, 13.2mm wide, 4.4mm thick and weighs 4.62 grams. As only the tip of the spear remains, it is difficult to date this object more precisely than the Middle to Late Bronze Age period,…

An incomplete cast copper alloy tanged spear / spearhead of Early Bronze Age (Arreton industry) date (1700-1500 BC). The object is broken across the lower blade and the tang and butt of the blade are preserved. The blade would have been lanceolate in shape (being broadly triangular in plan) and has a pronounced, raised central rib terminating at the junction with the tang. This rib is present on both faces of the blade. The cross section of the blade is lentoid (lanceolate). The tang is integrally cast and rectangular in shape; it tapers toward the butt end where the lower edge is bro…

An incomplete copper-alloy fragment from the tip of a possible Middle or Late Bronze Age spearhead (1500-800 BC). The fragment is broadly triangular with an uneven broken edge which has been broken in antiquity. The fragment is lozenge in section, with a central raised bevel present on both faces. Along the break, there is a small rectangular hollow, possibly indicating the upper portion of a former socket. The fragment measures 44.7 mm length, 21.4 mm wide, is 5.1 mm thick and weighs 14.5 g. A number of comparable objects are recorded on the database, including HESH-C092E5 and …

Possible fragment of a Bronze Age spearhead of indeterminate type and date A small fragment of copper alloy 20.7mm long, 6.4mm thick and 10.3mm wide). The fragment has slightly concave facets narrowing to the blade and at the apex the suggestion of a mid-ridge. There is no evidence for a socket at the centre. The surface has a dark-green patina, consistent with Bronze Age bronzes. The fragmentary condition of the copper alloy makes any identification tentative and speculative and it is possible that the fragment is from a more recent object but the form is generally consistent…

Middle or Late Bronze Age date (1500 - 800 BC) socketed spear (spearhead): The copper alloy spearhead consists of the upper portion of the spear, being broken just as the socket starts. In plan the spearhead is an elongated sub-triangle with the blade facets and tip both being abraded. The spear blades cutting edges have been lost, however, the overall shape of the blade can be probably be ascribed to being leaf-shaped. The spearhead fragment is broadly sub-triangular in plan and profile with a bi-convex shaped cross section. The lower portion of the spearhead has been lost and the br…

A fragment from a copper alloy spearhead of middle to late Bronze Age date. Only the tip survives. It is very damaged and corroded, but roughly sub-triangular in form and with a lozenge section and a wide hemispherical rib running along the centre of each face. The flattened sections to either side of this are very damaged and the tip is missing. At the other end is an irregular break with a slight dimple in the centre suggesting that the spear had a socket. There is a thick brown patina that is missing in a few places revealling a green inner core. It is likely to be of middle to lat…

The tip of a copper-alloy socketed spear dating from the middle to later Bronze Age (c. 1500-700BC). The spearhead tip has a rounded mid rib with narrow wings. The wings are chipped, perhaps due to thinning of the metal from corrosion which may have led to some losses from the outer edge of each wing. The surface has a stable, slightly pitted, patinated surface of green-brown colour. The surviving length is 46.64mm, with a maximum width of 10.04mm (and depth of 7.80mm) and weight of 11.45g. A similar, though larger, example (LIN-CE5674) can be seen on this database.

Cast copper alloy (bronze) fragment from a spearhead of uncertain Mid - Late Bronze Age date (1400-750 BC). The fragment has lost all its diagnostic features and so the classification cannot be further refined. The fragment comprises a section of the upper part of the spear blade, specifically the lozenge sectioned central mid-rib and a feathered section of blade, the tip of the spearhead is lost. The mid-rib is high and this is more common on spearhead of Middle Bronze Age date. The surface is a dark brown colour with a polished surface patina- this patina is pitted and has light gre…
