An incomplete Bronze Age red deer (Cervus elaphus) antler Base Axe mattock dating from 3000 - 1000 BC. This is a Smith Type B mattock. The object consists of the lower beam and basal junction of a red deer antler. The brow tine and bez tine have both been removed, at the distal end (the burr) remains. The mattock has a perforation with a diameter 26.59mm mediolaterally through the beam above the bez tine junction where the haft would have been inserted. At the proximal end the working edge is missing. AMS radiocarbon dating of similar Base Axe mattocks by (Tolan-Smith & Bonsall, …

Object type: AWL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Bronze Age bone awl, probably dating to the period 2150 BC - 800 BC. One end of the bone retains the distal condyle while the other has been narrowed to create a pointed tip. The tip would have been used to pierce other materials. The front of the awl shows a lower recess created removing part of the bone which reveals a inner chamber. Just above the recess there is a decoration composed by three incided and trasversal lines. Part of the decoration is not visible due to an old circular break of the bone. Both sides of the recess is a small groove. The reverse part is smooth with …

Fragments of upper and lower mandible of a cow and seven teeth. The portion of the cattle's palatte has split in two down a natural bone fissure and the lower mandible is only a fragment. The teeth are in good condition but not attached to the skull fragments, they were found in association with. The bone has been recorded as it is from an area rich in prehistoric activity and has the potential to be associated with it. All of the teeth are molars with well preserved root structure.

Record ID: SF-A78983
Object type: ANTLER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worked antler of possible Bronze Age date. The tip of one antler tine survives, terminating in old breaks at one end and missing the very end of the tine due to old breaks. Towards the tip of the antler the surfaces have been worn smooth appearing almost polished in places, and demonstrating extensive tool marks and signs of use wear. Precisely what this object was originally used for remains uncertain, however the findspot is suggestive of prehistoric rather than later usage, possibly during the Bronze Age. It measures 171mm in length, 25.31mm in width, 31.96mm in depth/thickness, …
