Record ID: BH-7281C8
Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete cast copper-alloy palstave axe dating to the Middle Bronze Age (c. BC 1600-1400). The palstave is near-complete with only part of the broken butt missing. The palstave is roughly sub-rectangular in shape and flattens and flares outwards to form a wide rounded blade, giving the object a slender elongated sub-oval shaped cross-section. The butt is H-shaped in section and terminates towards the centre of the axe with shallow rounded stop-ridge and a peltate-shaped recess on both sides at right angles to the septum. The flanges are flat, sub-oval in plan, straight and parall…

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy spear tip probably dating from the Bronze Age circa 1700-800BC. Only the tip of the spearhead remains, which is triangular in shape, and lozenge in cross section with a worn midrib. This is the tip of the spearhead only and has a pronounced spine running down its centre, this is flanked by thin blades that taper to a fine point. The rear of the spear is truncated resulting in the loss of the socket and rear section of the blades. The break is worn. An insufficient amount of the spear remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed.

Object type: MULLER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A double-sided stone muller with a circular cup mark on each face, so partially worked into a shaft-hole implement, dating from the Bronze Age. Ovate in plan, cylindrical in profile and in section, with two convex ends. 136 mm in length, 116 mm in width, 40 mm in thickness and 1151.35 g in weight. Both faces have been ground flat and the rounded edges have been pecked, making it ideal for use as a muller or rubbing stone. The original implement would have been an almost perfect oval in plan but one of the long edges has been damaged through the secondary use of the muller as a hammer-…
