Object type: AXE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published
Bronze axe of Arreton Down type. Expanded cutting edge, now asymmetrical; there are indications of small raised flanges down each side of the blade. It is likely that these were raised by hammering and not cast. The blade tapers, from its mid-point, towards both the cutting edge and butt. Most of the surface has been lost to corrosion but enough survives to show that the faces of the axe were not decorated. c. 1800 - 1400 BC.

Probable Bronze Age fragment, possibly from an axe The bronze object is fragmented and with all edges rounded, possibly through water-rolling (with a length of 15.9mm, a width of 34.8mm, a thickness of 7.8mm and a weight 16.8g). The condition of the object makes any identification speculative. The fragment is of sub-triangular section, resembling the blade of an axe. The sides are not present and the faces are flat. The blade edge has been lost and there no surviving evidence for a socket base. The fragment has a dark green surface patina. The general shape of the bronze may suggest a…

Workflow stage: Published
Bronze Age stone battle axe head. The stone is unfinished. It has been polished, however it has split at the end along what appears to be a natural fault in the stone. The haft hole is only drilled about three quaters of the way through. It therefore seems that the axe was discarded when it split part way through its production.

A cast copper alloy axe or knife blank / ingot of Chalcolithic / Early Bronze Age date (2450 - 2300 BC). The blank is oval in shape with the butt being rounded narrowed and tapered. In profile it is lentoid in shape and its cross section is a similar lentoid shape. The 'cutting' edge is rounded, from the external edges it tapers gradually until it forms a narrowed but rounded but. There is no sign of a stop ridge or any form of cast design. It is thickest at the mid-point. The surface of the blank is heavily eroded and corroded, small areas of original patinated surface survive but on…

Early Medieval or Medieval iron axe head, 116mm long, 64mm wide at its widest point, 8 to 16mm thick and weighs over 60g.

A Medieval iron axe head (10th - 13th century). The width of the axe head expands from the butt (width: 50.19mm) to the curved cutting edge (width: 88.57mm). The upper edge is straight but the lower edge curves downwards. In the centre on one side a makers mark has been stamped. The mark is a cross where the length is twice the width of the arms. It is arranged so that the long arm of the cross is aligned along the length of the axe head. The axe head is broken across the vertical perforation for attachment on the butt, ?broken in antiquity. It is similar to woodworking axes (10t…

Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
A small body fragment of a cast, copper-alloy Sompting socketed axe of early Iron Age date. Only a small sub-rectangular section of the main body of the axe survives with the breaks indicating its fragmentation in antiquity. The reverse is plain but the obverse displays remains of two parallel ribs terminating one pellet-in-circlet each. There are parallels in Pendleton (1999), no. 125 and 130. The axe is likely to date from the eighth century BC. The length is 20.14mm, the width is 16.79mm, the thickness is 2.67mm and it weighs 4.00g.

County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Published
Cast lead alloy miniature axe of probable medieval date (1200-1550). The axe is a scale model of a battle-style axe of the medieval period. It is cast in one piece with an integrally cast transverse hole through the butt. In shape the axe is irregular in plan with a rectangular butt and expanded blade; in profile it is broadly sub-triangular. The two faces of the butt are similarly shaped in plan; however, one face is much flatter than the other. This is probably due to the method of casting and shape of the mould used. The butt of the axe is square in section and the hole seems to ha…

The axe is made of iron. The shaft appears to be curled around to form a socket, but this is not certain. The upper edge of the blade is concave, the cutting edge of the blade is an expanded convex shape. The surface of the axe is corroded. The dating of the axe remains uncertain.

Slightly brown stained unpolished flaked axehead with a modern chip showing a grey flint core. Slightly plano-convex in form with all-over working could be of Mesolithic or Neolithic date.

Butt end of a chert axe or possibly adze of later Mesolithic to early Neolithic date, 6500-2900 BC. It is oval ion section and has part of an S-shaped curve in profile. The butt is rounded. The tool has been shaped by removal or large scalar flakes around the edge on both sides. Down the centre of one side is a large area of creamy cortex covering c.40% of the face. On the other some flakes have been removed in the centre, adjacent to the break. One at least appears to have been removed after the break or possibly as part of the break, it is not clear if damage to this area could be f…
