Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy sword blade fragment. Slightly bent, extremely abraded (agricultural action?) Medium/dark green patina. Length 37 mm, width 29 mm, weight 32g. Abrasion on this fragment probably suggests long-standing movement and resultant wear in a sandy or gritty ploughsoil. The breakage however is deliberate and occurred in antiquity, and is a common feature of LBA hoards.

Object type: BRACELET
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
Workflow stage: Published
One end of a gold penannular 'tress-ring'. 10 mm wide and 0.6 mm thick, the surviving length is 19 mm long and weight is 1.09g. The exterior face has a raised rounded border on its three original sides, surrounding nine longitudinal ribs separated by ten rounded concave grooves to give an evenly corrugated effect. Some of the grooves have longitudinal scratches which may be from the mould or from later finishing. The interior face is flat apart from a slight ridge at the original short edge, which may be a result of gentle hammering or, more probably, a reflection of the original moul…

Object type: CHISEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy tanged and lugged tool, blade broken but probably chisel-ended. The tang is 4 mm wide and tapers from 4 mm thick at the junction with the blade, to a point at the other end. The blade starts 14 mm wide but quickly narrows with curving edges to 6 mm wide before flaring slightly to 8 mm wide at the (old) break. Deep brown patina. Surviving length 87 mm, weight 12.6g. Lugged chisels/tracers of related forms are found in chronologically widely separated contexts, from the Arreton tradition of the late Early Bronze Age to the Ewart Park phase of the Late Bronze Age. Comp…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy rapier tip. Extensive small pocking with green corrosive products due to bronze disease, elsewhere deep brown patina. Ancient break, also patinated deep brown. Marked edge damage (not due to corrosion); tip has been re-sharpened down to the mid-rib. Not enough survives to be certain of the form of the mid-rib - it may be rounded, or flat further down the blade. Length 68 mm, surviving width 19 mm max, thickness 4 mm.
