Object type: SICKLE
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy socketed sickle dating from the Early Iron Age, c.800-700 BC. The crescentic blade is 120 mm long, 35 mm wide and 2 mm thick and has a flat mid-rib on both faces defined by a pair of grooves that are 14 mm apart near the socket and taper to a point 12 mm in from the end of the blade. The outer edge of the sickle blade is thinner at 1 mm and sharper, though damaged, than the internal edge which is 1.5 mm thick, but the internal edge is usually considered to be the cutting edge on sickles so this would appear to be a double-bladed tool. The socket is at right angles to…

Cast lead pyramidal suspension weight dating from the Post-medieval period. The weight is sub rectangular in section, 33.5 mm tall, 15 mm x 12 mm at its base, narrowing to 11.5 mm x 4.5 mm at the top and with a weight of 38.1 g. (1.34 oz). The weight is pierced by a circular hole, 2 mm in diameter, close to the top. Its base is flat so that it could also be used as a standing weight and the base is deeply incised with a large letter V. The weight does not appear to correspond with any standard measurement in either the averdepois or troy systems, so the incised mark has no apparent me…
