Spearhead, B5425. Complete spearhead. It was broken in two and the break is glued. The blades are wide; the socket is wider at the mouth than where it meets the blades. There are two small rivet holes on either side of the socket; there is a ring around each hole, a ring is no more than a vague outline due to corrosion. The socket has a round cross-section. The surface is rough; the patina is golden brown. The spearhead has been resharpened by the finder: the point, the top of the socket on both sides, the edges of the blades. Length: 17.2 cm. Width: approx. 3.3 cm across widest section. Photo: Svein Skare © University Museum in Bergen, CC BY-SA 4.0
