Record ID: BERK-8F65E5
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a cast copper alloy axe or palstave of the Bronze Age. The fragment consists of the curved tip of the blade, to a depth of only 15.52mm. The blade expands evenly either side from the cutting edge; the outer tips or edges of the balde are damaged, and internally the blade is solid at this point. The curve of the blade suggests this is a palstave rather than an axe, but it may be a later Bronze Age socket axe head. Because of the fragmentary nature of the artefact it is not possible to identify it further.

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published
Gold mount or strip with rounded terminals which have been bent over in antiquity and would have originally been flat, but are now folded over in opposition to each other and at different angles. Inside each of these folded terminals is a punched hole that was made with a rectangular punch which has left an '][' shaped aperture, which probably held a nail rather than a rivet, in order to attach it to another material, as a mount. The distinctive and large (for the size of the strip) holes have been created by a rectangular punch that was only slightly tapered, or by hammering a rec…

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment from a cast copper-alloy object of Bronze Age date. Only the tip of the object survives, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. It is triangular in form, tapering to a sharp point, and with prominent mid rib that runs the length of the surviving fragment producing a lozenge shaped cross-section. The entire object measures 23.68mm in length, 9.41mm in width, 5.02mm in thickness and 2.72g in weight. This is the tip from a Bronze Age object, possibly a spear or similar, c.1600-800 BC.
