Record ID: LVPL-8A6476
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Stockport
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Blade fragment of a copper alloy axe head, probably Bronze Age in date. The blade is very rounded and wide. It still retains a sharp cutting edge. The patina is a fairly even light brown and there does not appear to be any invasive corrosion. It has broken unevenly before the main body of the axe. Its size and shape suggest it is from the early or mid-Bronze Age.
