One of two late Bronze Age axes found.<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/p>\n\n
The axe belongs to the Penard group, similar in form to type 910 and 925. The axe is 142mm in total length. The object is unevenly corroded, with the worst corrosion occurring at the end of the blade and on the butt. There are patches of a smooth outer cortex of corrosion, particularly on either side of the septum and near the loop. Casting flashes are clearly visible, but have been smoothed. The axe is thickest at the stop (33mm), and the blade evenly thins to the cutting edge. The blade is 85mm in length from the edge to the stop. A central ridge runs from the stop 39mm down the blade. The blade facet is approximately 12mm in breadth, and the edge relatively even, though pitted. The septum is 56mm in length from butt to stop and 8mm thick. The loop strides the stop and is 6mm thick at its peak and flares at the bases.<\/p>","notes":"
