Description
Bronze Age Spearhead, c.3000 years old, found in the South Hams.
"This spearhead is made of copper alloy. Spears such as this may have been used in hunting or fighting and may even have had a ceremonial kind of use. It dates from a period in prehistory known as The 'Bronze Age'. It was during this time that humans first discovered the use of metal. Therefore, this is one of the oldest metal objects from Devon on display."
