As Catling notes (125) 'the Late Cypriot dagger is an uninspiring and uninteresting weapon. The series is merely a continuation of the daggers of the Early and Middle Cypriot periods' thus it is hard to distinguish between early, middle, and late Cypriote examples.

It is in terms of its convex butt that the Ure example is comparable to Catling's type (a) dagger, such as that from Nicosia noted below, which was found in a LC1A context
