This copper dagger with an elongated triangular blade and tongue formed part of grave goods that are characteristic of the bell-beaker era. Found together with the dagger were diverse flint arrowheads with fins and stem, a string of shell beads, two bone buttons, fragments of a bell-beaker vase decorated with dotted stripes in the maritime style and the remains of a carinated vase. All these grave goods accompanied the remains of at least four individuals – three adults and one child – in a grave of those typified by J. Serra i Vilaró as a hemi-dolmen called Collet de les Forques (L’Espunyola).
