Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy spearhead of Middle-Late Bronze Age date, c. 1500-800 BC. The spearhead is largely complete, with a blade indicating a long uselife and a complete socket with only minor chipping around the edge. The entire head has been cast integral, with a conical socket retaining lozenge-shaped sideloops near the base of the socket. No flashmarks are visible. The blade was originally 'leaf-shaped', with angular shoulders, but the blades on each side of the head have been repeatedly sharpened over the course of its life, reducing the size of the blade considerably. The …

Object type: HOARD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The find consists of a fragment of a socketed instrument, a socketed tool, five fragments of a hollow ring with semi-circular cross section and a length of copper alloy wire. The find can be considered as an addendum to 2010 T442 based on the location of the find and the typological similarities between artefacts from both cases/finds. Furthermore, the fragment of socketed tool and hollow ring may belong to (and refit with) objects from 2010 T442. This impression was gained from examining the available photos of the earlier case (since acquired by the Society of Antiquaries, Newcas…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped scraper of the late Neolithic-early Bronze Age, c. 2500-1500 BC. The scraper is sub-square in planview, formed from a large flake. A single edge has been pressure flaked, though the edge has become very worn. The side edges have also been formed from knapping, but to provide general shape to the scraper rather than form a working edge. The flint is a white-grey colour.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy knife/razor of the Middle-Late Bronze Age, c. 1500 BC-800 BC. The knife/razor is incomplete, but what remains indicates the object was leaf-shaped in plan and pointed-oval in section. The tip of the blade is missing, as it the base. The remains of a hole for mounting/fixing can be seen, but the edges of the blade have chipped and corroded away, leaving an irregular, jagged edge to both edges of the blade.

Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper-alloy unlooped long flanged axehead, damaged and dating to the middle Bronze Age, c. 1600-1400 BC. The axe is complete, but the edges of the flanges, butt, and blade are damaged with missing nicks and bending between the nicks. The blade flares slightly from the flanges and a very worn stop-ridge, with a crescentic edge at its end. The butt is rounded in profile. In plan view, the flanges are lozengiform, and the axe is probably related to the shield-pattern early types of Long flanged axhead dating from either Acton Park I or II industrial phases of metalwork. …

A cast copper-alloy rapier (or possibly dagger) of Middle Bronze Age date, c. 1500-1150 BC. The rapier blade fragments are in two pieces that fit together and a third piece from the mid-blade, all with very abraded edges. The blade is sub-rectangular in plan and a pointed oval shape in section. One end of the blade fragment is thinner and slightly rounded in its breakage, suggesting that the surviving fragments are the base of the blade and upper handle/tang. Measurements for each section are: L=83.69mm; W=27.49mm; Th=5.14mm. L=45.68mm; W=24.49mm; Th=5.14mm. L=140.15mm; W=…
