A fragment of a copper alloy spearhead dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC. The spearhead has been broken just under the beginning of the cavity in which the shaft would have been socketed. The object is decorated with ribs and grooves radiating from the terminal point. There is some pitting on the surface. The point has been bent slightly 40.6mm below the terminal point; there is a fracture on the surface of the spear indicating this stress. In section, the spear head shows a circular middle with highly-angled points at either side. An insufficient portio…

Object type: GOUGE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy Bronze Age gouge found as a single find.
It has a circular mouth and a flat top, the mouth and socket are damaged. There is also damage or wear on the gouge furrow, largely caused by bronze disease but also faint striations can be seen in the furrow, possibly indicating sharpening. The gouge survives in a very good condition and much of the well-finished original surface still survives. The mouth of the socket is also experiencing some active corrosion; bronze disease is affecting the metal. The majority of the gouge is still covered with the original surface, which has a…

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a cast copper alloy spearhead dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC. The fragment comes from the tip end and all that survives is the tip proper. The spearhead seems to have been very long and thin judging by the angles of the two sides. The midrib is very shallow, forming a lozenge section and is solid. The blade edges are eroded, and the whole artefact is worn, with a pitted surface, which is light greyish-green. An insufficient portion of the spearhead remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed. However, as t…

Record ID: YORYM-C43892
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.
