There is a ridge along the centre of each face of the blade. The palstave, on both faces, has a prominent straight stop-ridge. In plan the septum is rectangular and the butt has an abraded edge.

Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of a probable Bronze Age palstave. Only part of the butt of the palstave survives. It is trapezoidal in plan and shaped like a serifed capital I in section. It tapers from 4.1mm thick at the broken end to1.68mm at the butt, not including the flanges. The metal is patinated to a green colour all over, and is deeply pitted in common with other poorly preserved Bronze Age objects. Palstaves date from the middle Bronze Age, about 1500 BC - 1150 BC. Compare NLM-10F757 for a similar fragment, but with different patination.

Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Part of a very worn and corroded Middle Bronze Age palstave dating from 1600 BC – 1200BC. The middle part of the palstave survives, but is extremely worn. The stop ridge and flanges are just discernible. The haft tapers to away prematurely, and the blade end is thick and rounded. Clearly, all the extremities have corroded away, but even so, it was probably always quite a small example. The patina is orange brown and pitted, with some areas of bright green. It is 57.9mm long, 20.73mm wide and 10.07mm thick. It weighs 46.7g.

Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Bradford
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy Bronze Age palstave. It is an unlooped type with a predominant stop ridge dividing the septum from the shield shaped section. The sides are flanged and taper to a point. It is 'H' shaped in section and measures 143.32mm x 54.85mm x 27.57mm, weighing 423g. There is a slight green patina on the blade and side flanges. It dates from the early Middle Bronze Age (c.1500 - 1400 BC) and is probably part of the Acton phase of metalworking. There is a similar example to this in Moore and Rolands' 'Bronze Age metalwork in Salisbury Museums'; plate VII, fig. 15.

A copper alloy Middle Bronze Age flanged axe or palstave. It has a shield-shaped depression on the blade beneath the stop on both faces. It has a raised rounded stop ridge between the flanges which are quite high, giving a roughly diamond shape to the side of the body of the palstave. The butt end is missing. The cutting edge is crescent shaped. The casting spur is visible on both sides. The axe is 140.4mm long, 55.1mm wide and 35.6mm thick. It probably belongs to the Acton Park period of metalworking (Needham 2004 unpub.) and dates from between 1500BC and 1150BC. There is a hole in t…
