A cast copper-alloy developed flat axehead of Middle Bronze Age date (c.2000 BC -c.1700 BC ) which corresponds to Needham's (1996) Period 3.<\/p>\n
The blade end is crescentic in form, flaring to either side of the axe, the cutting edge is damaged in places but otherwise is in good condition. It has a flat, rectangular body that gradually tapers towards the butt end. Half way along the axe on either side is a shallow stop-ridge that seem to be early forms of the more prominant versions seen on palstaves. <\/p>\n
The axe has a brownish patina; the surface is smooth and in good condition.<\/p>\n
The axe is probably an Aylesford type developed flat axe, dating from 2150-1500 BC. Similar examples can be seen in Moore and Rowlands, plate VI. See also YORYM-0D0388 on this database.
