A blade fragment of Middle/ Late Bronze Age (1300-900 BC) copper alloy dagger, consisting of part of the blade just below the shoulders. It measures 46.51x26.45x2.67mm and weighs 12.02g.

The narrower end is lozenge-shaped at the break, the wider end also but much more shallowly. Both breaks are oldish but still quite jag…

Object type: FLAT AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper alloy flat axe dating from the Early Bronze Age, that is c. 2150-1500BC. The axe is narrow with tapering sides and there are no signs of a stop ridge. It has a rounded butt and a flared cutting edge with concave shoulders. The axe is extremely worn and the original surface has now corroded away. There is a small possibilty that it was decorated, but judging from the slightly tapering sides it is probably an earlier flat axe (that is from c. 2150-1700BC) rather than a later one from the Migdale metalworking tradition. It shares similarities with axes of the Brithdir and Wil…
