CLASSIC VIKING FLESH CUTTING ARROW C.866-1067.

Vikings occupied more than half of England (that portion known as Danelaw) for over two centuries. Research was brought to a new level with the excavations at York in the 1970s and continuing today as well as the continued research on Gotland Island and other sites. In the past three decades, positive identification of whole bodies of Viking material, previously unclassified, has been made. Items #144-#196 are Viking, and were found in England unless otherwise noted.Classic early form with cusped base triangular head made strictly for flesh cutting. Side seamed conical socket with small chip to the bottom. 3 3/4" length. Found in Sweden.
