Object type: CHISEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Middle/ Late Bronze Age (1500 BC - 800 BC) tanged chisel measuring 51.10mm in length and weighing 11.50g. The chisel has a spatulate terminal (chiselling end), 21.66mm wide and 0.95mm thick, which tapers and thickens into a rectangular-section tang and rounded, pointed tang-end (1.5mm diameter). At the centre-point, where the tang is thickest, it measures 3.94mm thick. The chiselling end is bent at one corner. 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…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete unidentified copper alloy object, possibly part of a (long) Bronze Age awl. The incomplete object is rectangular in shape and broken at either end. It measures 51.13mm in length. At one end it is 6.20mm wide and 4.53mm thick and at the other 5.30mm wide and 3.50mm thick. Both breaks show the object is rectangular in section. From the pitted surface and green powdery patina, the objects looks to have some age to it. It weighs 7.44g.

Workflow stage: Published
A Bronze Age decorated bronze awl, measuring 54.65mm in length and weighing 3.41g. Its max.width is 4.77mm and its max.thickness 3.25mm. From a central point rectangular in section and 3.84x3.25mm, the awl narrows in one direction to a squarish sectioned point, 1.43x1.85mm. In the other direction over c.18mm from the centre, it widens and thins to 4.77x2.93mm before narrowing sharply to a pointed end 1.11x1.71mm. On one face only and passing the widest point almost to its nearest end and the same distance in the other direction, is a wide and deep groove c.14mm long. On either si…

County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of Late Bronze Age (900-800 BC) bronze socketed axehead, consisting of part of the mouth and body. It measures 27.79x33.89x(max)8.29mm and weighs c.20g. The mouth has a double-rib moulding, with the top-most rib being much thicker. A casting flash is just visible in the furrow between. The mouth appears to be quite circular in shape.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete Middle Bronze Age to Early Iron Age bronze 'half-moustache'-like object with damage at both ends. It measures 36.24x9.87x9.84mm and weighs 10.74g. The object resembles half a moustache and consists of one solid pointed drop-shape. It is uncertain if it was originally a single half (as these are known) or one half of an original whole which would have been joined to the second half by a (probably perforated) central area. At the wider end (9.87x9.84mm) the jagged (old) break stands 3.6mm proud of the solid object, suggesting the end would have been hollow, perhaps for …

County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Bronze Age (2150 BC - 800 BC) bronze awl, measuring 34.04mm in length and weighing 2.13g. One end (c.9mm in length) is pointed and polished and circular in section (max.4.37mm diameter narrowing to a point). Behind this the shank is square in section 4.27x4.41mm narrowing to the opposite end of the awl, 2.03x1.17mm. The shank has a blue hue while the polished point is rather more brown. The polishing is possibly due to heavy wear.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Early Bronze Age short-flanged axe of Kirtomy type, with parallel and high flanges hammered or bent over on each side to contain the (no longer existent haft). Hammer marks are clearly visible. The blade is triangular with a slight curve outwards at the edge. Rounded butt, shallow stop and almost imperceptible on one side due to corrosion/ organic matter. Although surface corrosion and battered edge, still in fairly robust condition.

A complete late Bronze Age socketed axehead. Double mouth moulding, of which the upper is more prominent while the lower gives rise to a loop at the side of the body. Descending from the lower moulding are four raised ribs in two groups of two separated by an 8mm gap in the centre. The two outermost ribs on either face emphasise the angles of a rectangular-sectioned body. The two inner ribs curve gently and then more steeply to join the outer ribs at a point ¾ of the way down the body. With the loop to the left, these inner ribs run virtually parallel for about 2/3 of the way. Wi…

Double mouth moulding, of which the upper is more prominent while the lower gives rise to a loop at the side of the body. Descending from the lower moulding are (probably) four raised ribs in two groups of two separated by a 5mm gap in the centre. The two outermost ribs on either face seem to emphasise the angles of a rectangular-sectioned body but are not obviously there as 1 & 2 are (possibly as they are obscured by corrosion, or because the metal itself seems to have expanded and obscured the ribs). With the loop to the left, the two inner ribs fall steeply and close together sudd…

Double mouth moulding, of which the upper is more prominent while the lower is little more than a low ridge (with loop right, it is almost imperceptible). The loop projects from the groove between the mouldings. Descending from the lower moulding are four raised ribs in two groups of two separated by a 10mm gap in the centre. The two outermost ribs follow a furrow which emphasises the edge of the rectangular-sectioned body, but which slightly curves. The two inner ribs follow the outer, curving behind it and then round it to join it at a point ¾ of the way down the body. These al…
