EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Bronze Age arrowhead J930088. Discovered at Irthlingborough and meticulously examined by the Ancient Monuments Laboratory, this artifact offers a glimpse into an era long past. Crafted in the Early Bronze Age Conygar Hill style, this barbed and tanged arrowhead is a testament to the ingenuity and skill of our ancestors. The intricate design of this weapon reflects both its functionality and aesthetic appeal. The carefully crafted barbs on either side served to increase its effectiveness when hunting or engaging in warfare during ancient times. Its tanged base allowed for secure attachment to a shaft, ensuring accuracy and precision when launched towards its target. As we gaze upon this bronze age relic, we are transported back thousands of years to an era where survival relied heavily on such tools. It sparks curiosity about the daily lives of those who wielded it – their challenges, triumphs, and interactions with their environment. Jeremy Richards' expert photography captures every detail of this extraordinary artifact with stunning clarity. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only its historical significance but also marvel at the craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. This photograph serves as a reminder that our present is built upon countless layers of human achievement throughout history. It encourages us to reflect on how far we have come while honoring those who came before us. In preserving these treasures from antiquity through photographs like Jeremy Richards', Historic England ensures that future generations can continue exploring our rich heritage and draw inspiration from these tangible links to our past.
