Spearhead (piece)
This piece of a bronze spearhead was found at The Fort at Craignish in Argyll. It dates from between 950 and 750 BC.
Part of the blade survives of a spearhead with a stout midrib.
A wide variety of spearheads were made from around 1400 to 950 BC. Blades varied in shape, including triangular, kite-shaped or leaf-shaped. In the Late Bronze Age, from around 950 to 750 BC, socketed spearheads with leaf-shaped blades are most common.
