Description: Two fragments of a single copper alloy palstave and two fragments of a single copper alloy dagger, both of middle Bronze Age date. The palstave survives in two pieces, which fit together perfectly confirming that they are from the same object. The butt end was found several months after the discovery of the blade end and the dagger, but in close proximity to the latter. The break lies across the stop ridge and reveals irregular depressions caused by air bubbles forming honeycomb effect on both sides. This suggests that the original casting was flawed and that the objec…
