Object type: RAPIER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Middle Bronze Age rapier fragment of Burgess and Gerloff Group IV (The Dirks and Rapiers of Great Britain and Ireland, Prähistorische Bronzefund IV 7). It measures 22.3x16.2x(max)3.8mm and weighs 7.20g. All breaks are ancient. The rapier has a broad flat mid-rib and much of the patina is lost. The surface is worn and pitted. Rapiers date to the Middle Bronze Age but fragments are often found in Late Bronze Age hoards, suggesting continued use.

Object type: CHISEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Bath and North East Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Middle/ Late Bronze Age incomplete tanged chisel, missing its tang and with a little damage to one corner of the cutting edge. The incomplete object measures 49mm in length and is c.24.1mm wide at the cutting edge, which is 0.8mm thick. Where the blade extends from the tang it is 5.6mm thick. It is trinagular at this point, extending from an oval sectioned piece of tang extending below the collar. The oval collar 14.8x13mm, 3.3mm thick spearates the main tang (the broken stump of which is c.9x7mm and oval) and blade (which thins out of the tang below the collar. The casting fl…

Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable Late Bronze Age (1100 BC - 800 BC) fragment of casting sprue, weighing 6.3g. It is oval in cross-section and measures 15.34x10.95 at the wider end, which has a rough surface. The sprue narrows over 14.97mm to an old break 8.64x3.82mm. The sprue forms in the channels of the mould through which molten metal is poured in the process of casting, and which subsequently hardens and is removed. Although the colour of the metal suggests a Bronze Age date, it could conceivably date later.

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of Late Bronze Age bronze socketed axehead, consisting of part of the mouth and body below, on both part of a face and part of a side. It measures 22.96x21.93x(max)6.21mm and weighs 8.2g. The mouth (6.21mm thick) has single moulding with a rib below from which extends at least two vertical ribs before the (old) breaks. The lip seems a little more prominent on the face as opposed to the side, with a casting imperfection extending just below. Axes with rib decoration date to the Ewart Park and Llynfawr phases, 900-700 BC.

Bronze Age (2150 - 800 BC) bronze awl, measuring 54.90mm in length and weighing 4.3g. The tang-end is bent upwards slightly. The centre of the awl, which is the thickest part and rectangular in section, measures 4.59x3.89mm. From the centre to the point the awl narrows and becomes circular in section. In the other direction from the centre, the awl narrows is thickness and a little in width to 2.94x0.61mm. The surface of the awl on this half does seem to have been chiselled away to make it thinner.

One face of the chisel has its edges hammered-up slightly, creating a thickening towards the edges.

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of Late Bronze Age (1150 – 800 BC) bronze Socketed Axehead, consisting of part of the mouth with loop extending below and the body between. It measures 44.52x16.12x15.78mm and weighs 14.27g. The fragment is rather twisted in appearance, possibly as the result of intense heat. The mouth (6.25mm thick) has a prominent moulding from which the top of the loop extends. The inside edge of the loop seems to extend into another moulding below. However as so little of the body survives at this point it is difficult to be certain. The casting flash on both inside and outside edg…
