:Blade-
:Socket- It has 6 pairs of close set rings each with a pair of rivet holes.
:Comments- I consider this to be a transitional type between F and I like those from Bruhaugen in Norway [PETERSEN 1919: Fig. 16] and Sodermanland in Sweden. [BJORN & SHETELIG 1940:p.20] Edwards quotes Cowan Cowen who considers this spear as a hybrid between Petersen's type F and I.[EDWARDS 1992:P.46]
