Record ID: SF-95E648
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A copper-alloy blade fragment, probably dating to the Late Bronze Age. It is possibly from a sword but there is no central thickening or mid-rib, and it is very thin. All the surfaces are lost to pale/mid green invasive corrosion, with additional recent surface grazes, probably from the plough. The side view shows some bending near the break, possibly supporting the deliberate fragmentation as found on sword fragments from Late Bronze Age 'founders' hoards. It is 31mm in length, 34mm wide and 4mm thick, weighing 20g.

Description: A small late Bronze Age hoard consisting of a bronze spearhead, two joining short sword blade fragments and a possible chisel terminal fragment. 1: A pegged bronze spearhead, almost complete with the end of the tip missing and part of the socket mouth missing, the tip break appears ancient but the socket break seems more recent as there is a fresh scar along its edge. Next to this fresher break there is a worn rounded edge which may be due to an original casting flaw. Other damage along the blade edges, in the form of at least four dents causing burring on the blade fac…
