Copper alloy jet with a shaped runner below. The jet is derived from casting in bronze. The jet is oval in plan, slightly concave on its upper surface and convex on its underside representing the depression in the clay or other mould material which was filled with molten metal. Projecting from the convex underside is an irregularly shaped runner. The runner is roughly oval in plan with a clean, slightly curved terminal. The surface of the terminal is much smoother than the rest of the object, suggesting that it was cut at this point to detach the runner from the freshly cast objec…

Object type: MINIATURE OBJECT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete cast copper alloy miniature votive axe. In plan the axe is slightly crescentric, in that the upper and lower sides are curved. The cutting edge is curved and there is a small integral loop on the side near the socket. The socket is oval and hollow. The axe is Robinson (1995) Type III, which is thought to immitate Iron Age and Romano British iron axes (Robinson 1995 WA&NHM 88), although this form is also very similar to Bronze Age socketed axes. Indeed, this axe has a distinctive brown surface patina on it which is identical to the patination seen on many axes dating to t…

Two fragments of copper alloy casting waste. The first piece is conical, solid and may be a casting sprue, 38mm x 20mm x 18mm. The second is an irregular lump of copper alloy, 22mm x 20xx x 12mm. Both finds came out the same dug hole.

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy socketed axehead dating from the Bronze Age. The axe has a subrectangular socket mouth with a moulded rim and single attachment loop. There appears to be dark, organic material within the socket mouth. A casting seam is visible above the fracture on the axe blade. The axe has fractured obliquely; the two pieces were found by a metal detectorist approximately 1m apart. There are small areas of pitting across the surface containing a powdery green corrosion product. The blade is an unusual shape, having lateral indentations similar to another socketed axehead from the N…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a Middle Bronze Age sword. Only the tip remains, which judging from the neat linear break across the base, was intentionally cut from the body of the spear in antiquity. The fragment is triangular in plan with a slightly rounded tip. The body of the fragment is flat, circa 2mm in thickness and tapers according to the cutting edges. The cutting edges are circa 3mm in width and are abraded.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy axehead dating to the Bronze Age. Only the blade end survives, which is broken along a roughly vertical axis across the head. The break appears to be caused by shattering rather than being the result of intentional destruction. The blade-edge is a sharp wide crescent with the terminals extending approximately 9mm high from edge of the break. The surface of the axe is smooth and appears to be relatively unworn. The axe has a mid-brown patina.

Fragment of a Bronze Age copper-alloy object, possibly the tang from a knife or dagger. The fragment is flat, rectangular and is broken across a circular rivet hole at one edge.
