A cast copper-alloy palstave axehead of the mid-late Bronze Age. The axe is experiencing active corrosion and has a mid greenish-brown, pitted patina. This axehead was found as a single, isolated find.<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
This piece was probably made circa 1500-1150 BC. The artefact is sub-rectangular in plan, the width expanding slightly towards the end of the blade, but tapers towards the butt end. The blade tips measure 30.9mm, while the butt end measures 21.1mm. The blade is flat and rather featureless, but two large flanges overhang each face, these are curved and very prominent. The palstave has no central stop, but measures 21.3mm x 27mm at its widest central measurement. There is no attachment loop visible. The butt end extends from the centre, tapering to a more rounded terminal. The butt end is also featureless. Neither the blade end or the butt end feature any form of sharpening or hammering. The sides appear to have lost the casting flash, with no trace of it being visible, as they may have been removed shortly after production.<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
The faces of the palstave are corroded but there are small patches of the original surfaces surviving. The object measures 105.4mm long and 21.5mm wide. The weight is 144g.<\/p>

An early-mid Bronze Age flat axehead. The axe was found as a single find. The axe is cast in copper alloy; the original surface survives in a good condition and is only slightly pitted.
\nThe axe has a thin and rounded butt, measuring 20.8mm wide and the terminal measures only 2.3mm thick. The butt measures approximately 48.1mm in length, it is very flat in comparison to other examples. There is a slightly raised area in the centre of the axe, which appears to be an early form on the central block, seen on the later palstaves. The thickness of this central area measures 12.7mm.
\nThe sides of the axe are chamfered from butt to blade on both sides. They are flat, with the chamfering occurring gradually. The chamfering however gives way to flanged chests which can be seen on both edges of the axe, on both surfaces. After the raised central area the axe extends into the blade end. The blade is flattened and shaped. It looks worn, but there is no evidence of sharpening. The blade measures 57.2mm from tip to tip. The tips flare out at the tips, forming almost a pelta shape. There is no evidence of decoration on the blade or any other part of the axe. The blade tips are also damaged and well worn.
\nIt is probably an Aylesford type developed flat axe, dating from 2150-1500 BC. Similar examples can be seen in Moore and Rowlands, plate VI.

\n<\/p>\n\n
The pre-conservation state of the palstaves meant that the clayey soil adhering to the surfaces may have obscured more detailed typological features. However, given their heavily corroded condition this is unlikely. Unfortunately, this does mean that the weights of the objects include the adhering soil.<\/p>

Brown patina<\/p> \n<\/p>\n\n \n<\/p>\n\n L: 39.0mm; W. 39.5 mm, Th. 2.5mm, Wt: 17.0g.<\/p> \n<\/p>\n\n \n<\/p>\n\n 14. Handle? Green\/brown\/White patina. Circular form tapering into a curved point.<\/p> \n<\/p>\n\n \n<\/p>\n\n L: 45.5mm; W. 117.0mm Th.12.5mm, Wt: 27.7g.<\/p> \n<\/p>\n\n \n<\/p>\n\n Discussion<\/strong><\/p> \n<\/p>\n\n \n<\/p>\n\n The palstaves are of the Transitional type typical of the Penard phase metalworking assemblages (c. 1275-1150 BC). Whilst it is hard to define much more typological detail, there is substantial variation in the sizes and overall forms of the palstaves. Unfortunately, there has been relatively little intensive typological research regarding these palstaves since Smith (1959), Rowlands (1976) and Burgess (see Schmidt & Burgess 1981 for references). The deliberate placing of the palstaves in a pit concurs with broader patterns of metalwork deposition in the landscape. It is not thought that the three bronze sheet fragments and possible handle are associated with this deposition. It also seems unlikely that they date to the same period and are more probably post-medieval in date.<\/p> \n<\/p>\n\n \n<\/p>\n\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p> \n<\/p>\n\n \n<\/p>\n\n The objects formed a single original deposit or hoard with perhaps one dispersed from its original resting place through the actions of the plough. This material is eligible as Treasure under the new Treasure Order (2002) being a base-metal prehistoric find containing two or more metal objects.<\/p>","notes":" Previous Entry<\/p>\n A cast copper-alloy rim fragment from a copper alloy vessel.

The axe was found as a single find. The axe fragment survives in a poor condition and much of the well-finished original surface has been lost.

This artefact dates to the mid \u2013 late Bronze Age (1500- 800 BC).","notes":null,"reuse":null,"created":"2007-10-30 11:45:24","updated":"2011-02-24 13:17:27","secwfstage":"4","findofnote":"0","objecttypecert":"1","datefound1":"2007-10-01","datefound2":null,"inscription":null,"disccircum":null,"museumAccession":null,"subsequentAction":"1","objectCertainty":"1","dateFromCertainty":"1","dateToCertainty":"1","dateFoundFromCertainty":"3","dateFoundToCertainty":null,"subPeriodFrom":"2","subPeriodTo":"3","createdBy":"627","obverse_description":null,"obverse_inscription":null,"reverse_description":null,"reverse_inscription":null,"denomination":null,"degree_of_wear":null,"allen_type":null,"va_type":null,"mack":null,"reeceID":null,"die":null,"wearID":null,"moneyer":null,"revtypeID":null,"categoryID":null,"typeID":null,"tribeID":null,"status":null,"rulerQualifier":null,"denominationQualifier":null,"mintQualifier":null,"dieAxisCertainty":null,"initialMark":null,"reverseMintMark":null,"statusQualifier":null,"reason":null,"username":"law","fullname":"Liz Andrews-Wilson","institution":"YORYM","usernameUpdate":"dpett","fullnameUpdate":"Daniel Pett","primaryMaterial":"Copper alloy","secondaryMaterial":null,"decoration":null,"style":null,"manufacture":"Cast","surfaceTreatment":null,"completeness":"Fragment","preservation":null,"cert":"Certain","periodFrom":"BRONZE AGE","periodTo":null,"discmethod":"Metal detector","tribe":null,"region":null,"area":null,"ruler1":null,"ruler2":null,"period_name":null,"date_range":null,"mint_name":null,"wear":null,"category":null,"type":null,"reverseType":null,"county":"NORTH YORKSHIRE","district":"RYEDALE","knownas":"Weaverthorpe","gridRefSource":"From Map"},{"old_findID":"YORYM-E08851","id":"197987","uniqueID":"001471E0A450110A","objecttype":"GOUGE","classification":null,"subclass":null,"length":"61.2","height":null,"width":"16.1","thickness":"12.7","diameter":null,"quantity":"1","other_ref":null,"treasureID":null,"broadperiod":"BRONZE AGE","numdate1":"-1150","numdate2":"-800","culture":null,"description":"Copper alloy Bronze Age gouge found as a single find.\r\nIt has a circular mouth and a flat top, the mouth and socket are damaged. There is also damage or wear on the gouge furrow, largely caused by bronze disease but also faint striations can be seen in the furrow, possibly indicating sharpening. The gouge survives in a very good condition and much of the well-finished original surface still survives. The mouth of the socket is also experiencing some active corrosion; bronze disease is affecting the metal. The majority of the gouge is still covered with the original surface, which has a dark greenish-brown patina, but it is slightly pitted. The socket is empty. The socket is sub-circular. The depth of the socket is approximately 28mm to the socket end. The gouge has a single mouth-moulding. The casting flash has been trimmed but is still visible. The width of the gouge tapers down from approximately 16.1mm to 13.6mm. The blade and the cutting edge are slightly damaged and corroded.
