Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment, copper-alloy spearhead probably dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC. The mib-rib and the wings are intact, but the entire object is worn and corroded. The blade edge has been lost due to damage and corrosion. The object has a dark green patina with patches of copper corrosion products. An insufficient portion of the spearhead remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed, though it is probably comparable with the range of spearheads in Davis Groups 6-11.

An incomplete copper-alloy spearhead dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC. Only the tip of the spear remains which is triangular in plan and lozenge in section. The very tip has been lost to old worn breaks and a deep socket is present (18.9mm). An insufficient portion of the spear remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed, though it is probably comparable with the range of spearheads in Davis Groups 6-11. The metal has a mid-green patina and is pitted and worn. The spear is 37.6mm long, 12.7mm wide, 9.2mm thick a…

A copper alloy spearhead fragment of Middle to Late Bronze Age date, c. 1550 – 800 BC. Only the tip of the spear remains which is triangular in plan and lozenge in section with slight raised mid-ribs. A hollow socket extends through towards the tip.

Workflow stage: Published
The ventral surface has not been worked. There is only one small flake scar which is at the proximal end. The striking platform is covered with a small area of cortex. The dorsal surface has been pressured flaked completely. One edge has a serrated edge, whether this is an intentional and purposeful component of the knife is undetermined. The flint is a dark brown colour with no discoloration.

One incomplete knapped flint barbed and tanged arrowhead, dating to the Bronze Age, between 2150 – 800 BC (length: 31.5mm; width: 22mm; thickness: 3.5mm; weight: 1.9g). The arrowhead is broken along the outside edge and is possibly an unfinished piece as retouch is only present down one side of the artefact. One of the tangs is also missing as a result of the break. The artefact is dark grey in colour. Similar examples are illustrated in Bond, C, J, 2004, ‘Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics Version 1’, pages 54 & 205-6, figs 5.13-5.15. Bond des…

Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete Early Bronze Age copper alloy long flanged developed axehead dating to -2150-1850 BC. The axehead was cast in a two-part mould. The axehead is sub rectangular in cross section and has a shallow lenticular side profile. There is likely a proto stop ridge / median bevel which is now barely visible due to corrosion and the developed patina. The axehead has a slightly rounded butt end. The external edges are worn and have a slight hammer raised flange. The object then extends to a crescentic flared blade/cutting edge which is worn. The object has a green to brown colo…

Record ID: SWYOR-90C3E5
Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy cast spearhead dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 - 800 BC. The fragment is lozenge shaped in section, with the blade and midrib surviving. The tang or shaft would have been helpful in identifying it to a certain date, but this part is missing. However, as the midrib extends to the tip of the blade, which is of narrow form, the spearhead might be assigned a classification of no earlier than Davis Group 6. It measures 67.4mm x 22.8mm x 8.1mm, weighing 33.65g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The tip fragment from a Middle to Late Bronze Age copper-alloy spear head dating from about 1550 BC to 800 BC. It is in the form of a narrow isosceles triangle with a rib down the centre of each face. In section it is lozenge shaped with a rounded central rib. The patina is rough and dark-brown in colour, though there are a number of areas where the green of copper corrosion has broken through the patina. It is 53mm in length, 19.4mm wide, and 6.6mm thick. It weighs 14.79gm. See Moore & Rowlands, Bronze Age Metalwork in Salisbury Museum, Plate 12, No. 65, and The British Museum's Guid…

A flint lithic tool; a thumb nail scraper dating from the early Bronze Age (2150 - 1500 BC). The flint is good quality, dark grey, almost black and opaque. The tool is oval and unusually thick, almost triangular in section. It is invasively worked with abrupt retouch round the entire circumference. A similar example is figure 70.9 on page 166 of Prehistoric Flintwork by Butler.

Object type: BEAD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable cast copper alloy bead of unknown date. The bead is circular and the outer edge is bevelled. There is a large circular hole in the middle, which is more worn on one side. The copper alloy is a grey colour, probably suggesting a high lead or tin content. Similar beads on the database are LIN-A9AF14, LIN-E32586, SWYOR-C05E27 and YORYM-82D452. Another possibility is that the object is a rove (washer) for a medieval purse bar (1400-1600). This would have been placed around one of the arms of the purse bar and would have functioned as a terminal. Another example of this is SWY…

A crudely fashioned flint scraper of the early to middle Bronze Age, 2150 to 1150BC. One end of the scraper is square, the other rounded. Both ends have been worked and there is a broken protrusion on one side, suggesting that there may have been a short haft and that both ends of the scraper were used. It is 52mm long, 31.9mm wide and 8.8mm thick. It weighs 14.68gm.

Object type: CHISEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy probable chisel or possibly a palstave dating from the Middle Bronze Age, about 1600 - 1100 BC. Only the blade end of the object survives. The cutting edge is 37mm wide and the sides then taper to 22.2mm wide at the break, where it is 20.4mm thick and a rounded rectangle in cross-section. No evidence of the side flages or stop ridge survive making the object hard to classify and date confidently. The narrowness of the blade and thickness at the break are perhaps more similar to chisels such as NMS-894E92, SF2649 and SOMDOR-7B3C43 on this database, but it …
