Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a copper-alloy socketed axehead of late Bronze Age date, c. 1000 - 800BC. The fragment is the blade end of the axehead which is sub-rectangular with a worn cutting edge and rounded corners. The cross-section is rectangular and the breaks are old and worn. The metal has a dark green delaminated patina and is worn. The fragment is 44.3mm long, 19.7mm wide, 9mm thick and weighs 25.1g. Due to the incomplete nature of the axehead it is not possible to ascribe it to a particular type series and it has therefore been dated broadly as late Bronze Age in date circa 1000 - 800BC.

Object type: AWL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
A complete though worn copper-alloy awl of probable late Bronze Age date, c. 1500 - 800 BC. The object is sub-square in section at the middle and widest point tapering to worn rounded points to either end. The object is undecorated. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The object is 51.6mm long, 6.2mm wide, 6.1mm thick and weighs 5.2g. Plain copper alloy awls are hard to date precisely but examples of this form are thought to have been introduced in the Bronze Age (2150-800 BC) with most being Late Bronze Age in date (1500-800 BC).
