Latest revision as of 17:32, 23 August 2018

The catalogue follows Thålin groups and then subdivided by Petersen's ^{[PETERSEN 1919]} types. Winged spearheads have been ground together in their own section and also include finds from outside of Britain. Each entry consists of the following components:

• Current location- The Musuem and catalogue number.
• Find Type- River find, grave find or stray. Also includes any proposed period dating.
• Find Date- The year that the find was discovered.
• Total length- The length, width, etc of the find
• Blade- The length, width, etc of the blade. Plus any published sugestions of typology.
• Socket- The length, width, etc of the blade plus decription of any decoration.
• Comments- Any other information or opinions.
• Bibliography- A list of published references.

Dimensions are given where known and can be stated in either imperial or metric measurements. Reference is sometimes made to Rygh types. Rygh’s [RYGH 1885] book illustrates examples of many pre-historic objects from Norway. These are designated as R.xxx where xxx is Rygh’s figure number.

Thålin Group 1

Leaf-shaped Spearheads (Pre 900AD)
Petersen Types A-E
Group 1 consists of Petersen types A, B, C, D1 and E. They are all types with a lancoid blade and gradual transition from socket to blade.

England, Cambridgeshire: River Ouse, Braham's Farm

Current Location- Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology Z 15993 (MAA Online Catalogue) 1929.283 (Roesdahl 1981) Find Type- River find. Find Date- 1929? Total length- L:45cm (MAA) Blade- Max width:3.7cm (MAA). Pattern-welded. Possibly a type E (Fuglesang 1980) Socket- Richly ornamented with silver, copper and fragments of gold, the design being apparently a variation of the Ringerike style. (Lethbridge & O'Reilly 1931) Comments- May be Anglo-Saxon as "there is no good parallel in Scandinavia fore the ornament on the Ouse spearhead" (Fuglesang 1980). "I don't doubt that the spearhead... is from the 10th century and preferably the first half of this century, the silver inlay seems to show that too. It is more difficult to decide tehe origin of this spearhead. It is a well-known type in Norway, but it may very well be made by the Northmen in England." Dr Jan Petersen. (Lethbridge & O'Reilly 1931) "The spearhead is, according to our finds, Carolingian and we should place it about 900 A.D. We have many such spearheads with side-wings, so-called Knebellanzen, but none of them has the plait ornament seen on yours." Curator of Mainz Museum (Lethbridge & O'Reilly 1931).

Thålin Group 2

Angular Spearheads with Short Sockets (950-1075AD)
Petersen Types D2, G & H
Group 2 consists of Petersen types D:2, G and H. They are all types with edge shoulders placed low on the blade and a short conical socket with marked narrowing below the blade.

Fuglesang includes the winged spears of Petersens type D2 in with this group as she removed wings as a determinant of typology making Petersens D2 and G types the same.
It has also been suggested by Fuglesang and Petersen that type G spearheads without wings may be of eastern origin with the majority of finds coming from Sweden and Finland. A few decorated type G spears have been found with Urnes style decoration.

Thålin Group 3

Angular Spearheads with Long Sockets from Britain (840-1100AD)
Petersen types F, I, K & M
Group 3 consists of Petersen types F, I, K & M. They are all types with a narrow blade which is often shouldered and a socket that is long, narrow and conical.

Fuglesang has studied the K & M types of spearhead that are decorated in Ringerike designs. Due to difficulty in determining the exact typology of many of these spearheads she has introduced a new K/M type that falls between those of Petersens K and M [FUGLESANG 1980].

Petersen Type F
