Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: York
Workflow stage: Published
A complete cast copper alloy flanged axehead of early Bronze Age date. The axehead is sub-rectangular with a narrow and thin rounded butt and wide cutting edge. From the butt the body extends, expanding slightly in width towards a splayed blade and cutting edge. There are slightly raised flanges along the sides. The surface of the axehead is quite corroded and pitted with only small patches of the original surface surviving. No casting flashes are visible and may have been removed after production or be indiscernible due to wear. This axehead is possibly of the Migdale tradition. The…

The scraper is worked from a proximal fragment with the bulb of percussion on the ventral face visible. There is also a bulbous scar at the proximal end from the striking platform. There is semi abrupt retouch worked from both the ventral to the dorsal face across both edges spanning c.25% of the circumference. The distal end has small flake removals. It measures 27.1mm long, 18.5mm wide, 6.6mm thick and weighs 4.41g. It dates fr…

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint flake, ovoid in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. The dorsal side is convex and part hinge fractured with large flake removal and part covered by cortex. The distal end is both retouched and fractured. The left margin has a sharp edge while the right is abrupt edged with retouch on the lower end. The ventral side has a flat surface with retouch scarring on the lower left margin near the proximal end. The flint is semi translucent and pale to mid grey in tone with a secondary cortex of dark cream in colour. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 186, Fig. 76, N…
