Copper Alloy
Copper alloys are metal alloys that have copper as their principal compoenet. They have high resistance against corosion. Bronze is created when tin is added, Brass is created when zinc is added. It is almost impossible to separate the different alloys based on appearance alone. Chemical testing is needed to distinguish these separate alloys.

| 8317A | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper pin [A]. Square section thickening to the head, pierced. Pointed, with a tang. With this go (probably) [B] 9 beads - one gold, 3 carnelian, and 4 lapis. [Type] V. |
| 8318 | (none) | (none) | B17474 | Copper chisel with straight sides, flat cutting edge, and triangular butt. [Type] IV. | |
| 8324 | (none) | 1928,1009.272 | (none) | Copper knife. Straight-sided, tapering to rounded point; angular shoulders to tang with 2 rivets. (broken) [drawing] [Type] II. | |
| 8329A | (none) | 1928,1009.271 | (none) | [A-H] Copper arrowheads. 8 in all. Two slightly different types, one having a more angular shoulder than the other. The tangs fitted into reed shafts of which traces were visible in the soil (half of the blade of one missing: the others complete). [drawing of two types 1:1] |
| 8330A | (none) | (none) | (none) | [A-B] Two copper pins with circular shafts flattened and curled over to form the head. Both broken and incomplete. [drawing] [Type] VII. |

| 8344 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper pin. The stem thickened towards the head and pierced at 30mm from the end: From the end protrudes a short tang. Round the stem at the hole there is a raised double band which may be in the metal but might be due to extra corrosion caused by a string or wire being twisted round it here. One lapis bead from the grave might be connected with the pin. [Type] V? |
