Record ID: SUSS-4D7454
Object type: FLAT AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
A small cast copper alloy Early Bronze Age developed flat axehead, probably dating to between 2200 -1500 BC. The axehead has a narrow round-ended butt, which widens into a sub-triangular axehead in plan, with dual-facetted flanges. The blade-end is wide and convex, but not crescentic with pointed ends, like other types from the same period. The blade-end has a pointed oval cross-section, whereas the body of the blade is facetted, creating an elongated hexagonal cross-section; the butt is sub-rectangular in cross-section. The axehead has an overall dark green patina. No regular decorat…

Object type: CHISEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Bronze Age copper alloy chisel fragment. The chisel is incomplete only the blade survives. It is sub-trapezoid in plan, the straight sides flaring from the break towards the convex cutting edge. The piece is of thin, flat section, tapering at the edges. The blade thins to 2mm thick at the cutting edge. It is heavily corroded, with only very small fragments of the original surface remaining. It is dark brown in colour, giving the appearance of iron, but is non-magnetic. Such chisels are generally thought to be wood working tools. Similar on the database to SOM-589161, NMS-769173 and …

Record ID: PAS-446915
Object type: RIBBON
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of gold, possibly from a bracelet or torc surviving as an undecorated oval/ellipse shaped band that tapers to the shoulders of probable terminals that may have been broken (the breaks are not conclusive). The terminals appear to have been twisted prior to the purported breaks (possibly in the process of breaking them). The band has several bends and distortions and it is not clear what the original profile of the band would have been. There are a number of scuffs and striations to both surfaces. Possible small hammer markings can be seen, particularly on one side of the ban…
