Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Bronze Age socketed axe probably of Yorkshire type variant dating from the Ewart Park phase, 950 - 800 BC.
The body of the axe is generally rectangular in cross-section, with a rectangular socket. The top is missing, so the mouth moulding is unknown. Casting seams are visible along the external sides of the axe. There is also a small hole unde the loop, probably a casting flaw. The sides continue towards the blade before expanding outwards to form a crescentic-shaped blade with a cutting edge of 39.0mm in length and a width of 7mm. One wing tip is mis…

Object type: DENTICULATE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint chunk, possibly minimally worked into a denticulate, of possible Bronze Age or Iron Age date, 2200 BC - 200 BC. It is formed on a secondary flake of patinated mottled light grey flint, and has much cortex surviving, covering all but 2 faces. The chunk is a knobbly nodule, with two struck faces at right angles to each other. A notch in the centre of the right side of the larger flat face could be intentional, with short, scalar, abrupt retouch, but could also be natural damage. There are also some removals from the distal end of the large flat face, on the right, but these …

A flint flake, possibly a utilised flake, or retouched flake possibly of late Neolithic to Bronze Age date, 3300 BC - 600 BC. It is formed on a secondary flake of dark grey flint, and is oval, wider than it is long. There is cortex on the distal right side of the dorsal face. There are a few previous removal scars and possible platform preparation on the dorsal face, but the flake otherwise appears to be as struck. The curved distal end may have been utilised as a knife or cutting tool. There is possible exceedingly fine retouch, but this is so slight that it is pro…

Object type: BURIN
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Middle Bronze Age to Early Iron Age chert burin. It has been formed on a secondary piece of black chert streaked with grey chert, possibly a worked out core from an earlier period as there is a variation in patination. The retained limestone cortex on the proximal end exhibits a high degree of wear, and there is wear gloss on most of the facial ridges. There are fresher removals to the tool's mesals, three long thin ones defining the longer edge, and the shoulder of the shorter shaped with a single removal on the shorter mesal at its distal end. The longer mesal has very fine, short, …
