Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy arrowhead or spearhead of the Bronze Age date (2500-1200 BC). The tip and socket of the object are missing and the retained portion consists of the central body. There is a central ventral and dorsal rib. An insufficient portion of the arrowhead/spear remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed.
The metal is a dark brown in colour with a pitted patina.

Description:
A cast copper alloy Bronze Age arrowhead or blade tip fragment. The fragment is sub triangular, tapering towards the tip, the extreme end of which is missing. The blade has a low centre ridge, being more pronounced on one side. The edges of the blade are sharp but worn and the fragment is lightly corroded.
Dimensions:
L: 15.22mm; W: 16.91mm (widest point); Weight: 1.94g
Discussion: Given the size of the item and the shallowness of the central ridge (compared with other items) it is most likely to be a fragment of an arrowhead or small blade rathe…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper-alloy arrowhead or spearhead dating to the Bronze Age period, likely the later Bronze Age, c. 1500-1000 BC.
The item is triangular in shape and lozenge shaped in section, being almost circular in the mid-portion. The wider edge opposite the tip shows some damage, and some of the surface of the arrow or spear is missing. This missing portion extends into a hollow area interior to the mid-section of the artefact, which could be a socket for attachment. The wall of the hollow section is approx 1.2mm thick.
The patina is smooth along the flat flanged blade edges an…

County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy arrowhead, of barbed and tanged form, now missing a barb and much of the outer edges, the tip is slightly bent, this is probably recent damage from agricultural machinery as it has lost some of its surface and a small patch of bare metal is just visible to one side. Both faces have a median ridge (some are cast with a ridge only on one side and are flat on the other side), this broadens out to a tang with a sub-rectangular section, both lateral edges are bevelled to sharpen the edges.
This example is part of a growing corpus of copper-alloy Bronze Age arrowheads from…

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy Bronze Age arrowhead, dating to 2500-1500 BC. It is barbed and tanged, having one of the barbs broken off; both faces have a low mid ridge, which flattens towards the tang. The tang is rounded at the base and the overall cross-section of the arrowhead is slightly lozengiform. It has relatively crude notches between the tang and barbs, and it might have been poorly cast.
Early Bronze Age metalwork often follows earlier and contemporary lithic forms and these examples are no exception, paralleling the more common 'barbed and tanged' flint arrowheads. Cf LEI…
