Late Bronze Age socketed knife
Features a tapering blade with broadly bevelled edges, with traces of wood in the socket. The blade is much reduced through corrosion and damage. Part of the socket remains, partly preserving a pair of copper alloy rivets. These are set side by side in the socket close to its junction with the blade.
