DaggerThis piece of a bronze dagger was found in a cist grave under Carlochan Cairn at Chapelerne at Crossmichael in Kirkcudbrightshire. The flat dagger has a damaged heel and tip. There are traces of two rivet holes and a rivet hole or notch. There is a dark, V-shaped hilt mark below the shoulders. The distinction between Early Bronze Age objects called daggers and knives is somewhat arbitrary, with the term dagger generally applied to longer examples. They are usually found in rich male graves. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
