Spears found in Britain |

More Found in Britain pages
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:
- Find Location
- Find Type: Grave, Hoard, River or Stray
- Current location
- Dimensions (if known)
- Any other information
- Bibliography of other 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.
Petersen Type E
England, Hertfordshire, Nazing
|
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 he removed wings as a determinant of typology making Petersens D2 and G types the same. See the section on ‘Winged Spears’ for examples of D2 style spear heads.
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.
Petersen Type G
England, London, Thames at Hampton Court
| |
England, London, Walthamstow
|
Petersen Type H
In most ways the same as type G except for the moulding at the base of the blade.
England, Cambridgeshire, Soham
| |
England, Cambridgeshire, Ely
| |
England, Cambridgeshire, River Cam at Dimmock's Cote nr. Upware
| |
No Picture | England, Lincolnshire, River Witham at Lincoln
