Bronze spearhead
Not on view
Although there are no indications that the Early Bronze Age was a period of conflict on the island, spearheads are often found in tombs. They may have been status symbols or simply standard weapons carried by males who had to be prepared for the dangers of everyday life. The daggers and spearheads were bent intentionally to ensure that they could not be used as weapons after the burial.
