Prehistoric — Middle Bronze Age; 1400BC-1275BC
Spearhead, side-looped spearhead
Bronze side-looped spearhead. The side-loops are neatly modelled and protected by lozenge-shaped plates, while the socket mouth is defined by a carefully-modelled hollow collar or inset bevel. There are traces of hammer facets close to the socket mouth and at the junction of the blade-wings with the mid-rib, and of grinding along the socket and adjacent to the side loops. The piece has a dark brown-purple surface and is in robust condition. Industrial phase: Taunton.
