Excellent stuff, thank you both! It shouldn't be much of a surprise, really, since bronze spearheads are the same way, hollow almost to the point. So casting a buttspike without a blade on it was that much simpler. Information like this is great, but it's also frustrating because all the great modern authors should have known this and said so decades ago! Of course, museums are partly to blame, since they rarely display broken pieces like those, and would never be caught dead actually giving out details like the weights... Glad to see we're finally catching up!
Of course, now I need to buy a couple huge long drill bits and try to drill out the inside of my 2-pound solid-cast lizard-smasher...
Khairete!
