Late Bronze Age bronze spearhead
With rivet and rounded kite-shaped blade, (bent and tip broken off) and long, slender socket with rivet half-way down, the head of rivet still peserved on one side (diam. 6) The socket, which penetrates, with a circular section, to a point where the tip is broken off, is still filled almost to its mouth with the remains of the original ash-wood (Fraxinus excelsior L.) shaft of the spear. The surface of the spearhead shows traces of a dull brown patina.
