LVPL-18B0A6 – MEDIEVAL arrowhead
\n\"\"<\/h4>\n
A very interesting find <\/div>\n
Arrowhead from AD800-1100.<\/h5>\n

Portable Antiquities scheme statement:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

A complete iron tanged arrowhead dating to the medieval period (c.AD 800-1100) See Jessop (1996: 193-5) type T2. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The arrowhead has a small leaf-shaped blade with prominent shoulders and has a lentoid cross section. The blade is largely complete with only a small portion missing from one edge. The lower portion of the blade flattens to a rectangular section and ends with a thick, rounded collar. The collar is preceded by a rectangular tang. The object has a smooth dark brown patina with patches of bright orange and a slightly pitted surface.<\/p>\n

Dimensions: Overall length 64.39mm; blade length 39.91mm; tang length 19.95mm; width 12.43mm; thickness 3.5mm; weight 5.9g<\/p>\n

This arrowhead falls into Jessop’s type T3 which is characterised by a small leaf-shaped blade and a rectangular tang. Jessop comments that tanged arrowheads are predominantly from contexts dating from the 9th-10th centuries… Tanged arrowheads are manufactured from a flat bar of iron, requiring less technological skill than arrowheads from the 13th~ 15th centuries (ibid).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
