A fragment of a cast copper-alloy socketed axe of late Bronze Age date, c. 1100-700 BC. Only the edge of the axe remains, in a very worn and abraded form, forming a rough crescent shape that is V-shaped in section, as the hollow cavity of the interior is visible.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The tip (cutting edge) of a Late Bronze Age socketed axehead dating from about 1000 - 700 BC. The cutting edge is worn and rounded. It is wider than the rest of the axe; the sides curve inwards. The casting seams are visible on the edges, but they have been smoothed. The break is also patinated suggesting the axe has been broken in the ground for a long time. The patination on the inside of the socket is darker. On the outside, the smooth olive green patina survives in places, but patches are missing showing lighter coloured corroded metal beneath. Compare KENT-279A24.

Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Bronze Age flanged axe. The butt end is rectangular up to the stop, where the edges then expand outwards to the blade tip. There is a slightly raised flange on both edges of the body giving it a very shallow 'H' shaped cross section, the difference in thickness changing only from 12.90mm to 13.91mm to include the flange. The flange continues until just before the blade tip. It is 83.66mm long. The butt end is 24.50mm wide. Blade tip to tip measures 55.80mm. The surface is corroded and pitted. Dark green patina. Weight 109.2 grams.

County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Bag-shaped dagger scabbard chape with three perforations through both faces (five remain blocked by a ferrous deposit). Each perforation lies in the centre of a circular mark on the outer face, probably the result of the drilling process rather than a purposefully made ring. Unusually the mouth is almost straight rather than markedly concave, e.g. an example from Reach, Cambridgeshire (Inventaria Archaeologica (1956) GB 17 3 (3) no. 20). Two examples with pairs of triple perforations but concave mouths come from Quarley, Hants and Norton, Northants (PAS HAMP-095061 and NARC-5DEF37). Bo…

Object type: FLAT AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Early Bronze Age, near complete copper flat axe. The butt is straight and narrow but is moderately thick (with a width of 19mm and a thickness of 5.5mm). The sides are markedly straight for their entire lengths, gradually diverging from the butt, towards the gently curved blade. There is some damage to the blade being heavily eroded - one blade tip having been lost. The more complete blade tip shows minimal flaring, producing a trapezoidal form. The axe form is unusual within the British and Irish traditions and is possibly a variant of copper trapezoidal axes with a continental Europe…

Incomplete cast copper alloy socketed axehead with defined slightly raised collar and the remains of a sideloop below it, faceted edges to the sides of the axe and a flanged blade. The collar is incomplete but the side that survives is about 20 mm long and shows that it flanges outwards slightly and would have had a rolled edge. The two base sections of the side loop that remain at either end are cruciform in section and are now worn smooth. The blade is triangular in plan and profile and the socket is sub-rectangular in section. The casting seams on the sides of the axe have been file…

An incomplete cast copper alloy flanged axehead of early Bronze Age date. The axehead is sub-rectangular in plan with a narrow rounded butt and cutting edge. From the butt the body extends, remaining fairly uniform in width until widening to the splayed blade which is extremely worn and the cutting edge has been lost. There are slightly raised flanges along the sides though each of these are also extremely worn and broken. The surface of the axehead is corroded and pitted with only small patches of the original surface surviving. No casting flashes are visible due to the increase degre…
