SpearheadThis bronze spearhead was found at from Carlusk in Banffshire. It dates from between 1500 to 1150 BC. The leaf-shaped blade of the spearhead is broken, as are the two side loops. Spearheads of this shape are found throughout Scotland. The development of two piece moulds allowed the manufacture of socketed tools and weapons. Few moulds have been found, but workshops have rarely been excavated. Clay moulds were probably the most common, but since they can only be used once, they were discarded after casting.
