A late Bronze Age copper alloy fragment from a spear dating c. 1150 - 700BC. This fragment comprises the tip of the spear head. It has a large, rounded midrib which extends to the tip. There is some edge damage but this appears to be caused after deposition. The break is diagonally across the spear head and it has the same dark green patina as on the rest of the surface.

Object type: AWL
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Prehistoric – Roman copper alloy awl, probably dating 800BC-AD410. The awl tapers to a point at one end and a flattened curved (spatulate) end at the other, the mid-section has a square cross-section. The spatulate end is bent to one side probably due to damage. The copper alloy has a roughened surface and a dark green patina.
Sally Worrell suggested a broad date range of Bronze Age to Roman and thought it was probably from the Iron Age – Roman period.
Dimensions: length: 75.70mm; width: 5.67mm; thickness: 5.67mm; weight: 8.43g.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A middle Bronze Age copper alloy fragment of a blade probably from a rapier. The blade fragment has a lozenge-shaped cross-section and it narrows in width from 24.79mm - 16.33mm. The fragment is very abraded and the majority of the surface is pitted and lost. The breaks have the same dark green patina as the rest of the object, suggesting the blade was broken in antiquity. There are parallels in form between these fragment and rapiers from Penard and Taunton metalwork assemblages (Rohl & Needham 1998: 129-132). References: Rohl, B. and Needham, S. 1998. The Circulation of Metal in the…
