Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Tip of copper-alloy socketed spearhead or arrowhead, with rounded midrib. The socket extends to about 35 mm from the tip. The blade edges are mostly damaged and worn, and the main break is patinated and fairly worn. There are recent (agricultural?) scrapes to the midrib on both faces. It is patinated medium green, with some paler green patches of corrosive products. One wing appears to be relatively complete; the side is only slightly convex, but there is a convex basal end. This side is only 66 mm long from the tip to where it joins the socket, although this must be an approx…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Published
Long slim copper-alloy arrowhead. The head is leaf-shaped and hand-forged, with a stepped cross-section; when held with the point to the top, the left-hand side of the blade is depressed. The head measures 12 mm wide and 38 mm long; the rest of the 163 mm long object is taken up with a slim tapering tang. The upper half of the tang has a rectangular cross-section, with diagonally opposite corners having oblique cuts forming decorative barbs. When the object is held with head uppermost the left-hand rear corner and right-hand front corner are decorated in this way. The barbs are to…

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy socketed arrowhead with lozengiform cross-section. Although the wings are now incomplete, they seem always to have been very narrow. Although the socket end is also incomplete, there is no trace of side loops so this arrowhead was probably of pegged form. The tip is missing and the body is badly damaged with invasive corrosion. Undamaged areas have lengthways sharpening or cleaning grooves visible in a surface which is patinated a medium/dark green. Surviving length, 64 mm; surviving width, 12 mm; maximum thickness (at the socket) 10 mm; weight (including soil in sock…

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Iron arrowhead. Although it was probably originally socketed, the socket is now missing leaving only a relatively long solid tapering cylindrical neck below the blade. This neck is 10 mm in diameter at its lowest surviving point. The blade has straight sides and may originally have had small barbs as the lower corners are also incomplete. The blade is a pointed oval in cross-section, 5.5 mm thick at most, and is a maximum of 14 mm wide. The total surviving length is 45 mm; the blade makes up 28 mm of this.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Haft end of flat copper-alloy barbed and tanged arrowhead. Edges are no longer sharp, due mainly to recent damage/erosion (showing pale green). Extensive recent linear grazing, particularly on one face (showing pale green). Otherwise the patina is dark brown/green, with microscopic crazing suggesting that corrosion is active below the surface. Slight edge bevels faintly visible on both faces. The notches between the tang and the barbs are facetted from one face only, and may be cast rather than created as a secondary process. If this is the case, the object must have been manufa…
