County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a late Bronze Age Ewart Park type sword hilt. The hilt plate is roughly rectangular and is narrowed before the worn and damaged fantail-like terminal. At the other end it survives up to the third rivet aperture. The break runs through the aperture and all surfaces of the break are well patinated and worn. There are two longitudinal channels running along either face, giving the object an undulating cross-section. The bronze is well worn and now a dusty green colour with extensive patches of brown patina. This brown patina almost covers one side whereas on the other si…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Approximately half on an unidentified object. The object is plano-convex, solid and an oval shape in plan. There is an hour-glass shaped hole through the centre of the object where it is currently broken. The convex surface is covered in tight rows of linear marks which could be the result of filing, or perhaps the mirror image of the mould it was cast in. The object looks like a miniature verson of a polished stone prehistoric macehead.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete decorated ceramic food vessel or beaker. Eleven sherds were recovered, which form approximately 25% of the original vessel. Five pieces join back together to form the part of the body of the vessel, and two further sherds join independently; the remaining four sherds do not join together. The vessel surface is a mid-brown colour with a dull grey-brown colour on the inner surface. The vessel has a sandy deposit over surface in places, which is dark brown in colour and extends over some of the breaks indicating where the vessel was broken in antiquity. The deposit is seen eve…

Object type: DAGGER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Incomplete copper alloy knife, or dagger. The dagger is leaf shaped, slender and roughly a pointed oval in cross-section. Either side of the blade there are developed bevels; two either side of the main ridge angling down towards the blade edge. The blade tapers towards the tip, which is now flat through wear rather than being pointed. The flat tip is well patinated, having the same patination as the blade body. The edges of the blade are damaged in places with small concave 'nicks', and are again covered with the same patination as the blade tip and body. The tang is roughly rectangu…

Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two lumps of probable copper alloy casting waste. Both items have irregular and very worn surfaces. The larger piece measures 33mm in length, 26mm in width and 9mm in thickness. The piece has an irregular flat base and a slightly concave inner with a raised crescentric lip. The lip is in the form of a channel, and may have been formed by either pouring into or spilling out of the casting chamber. The flattish base would support this too. The smaller piece measures 24mm in length, 14mm in width, and 8mm in thickness.

Fragment of an unidentified object. The object is triangular in plan, solid cast, and roughly rectangular in cross-section. The object tapers to a worn but intact point. The objects surface is extremely abraded and has a very rough break. The object has an almost 'spear-tip' appearence, however the size, density and terminal of the object would seem to suggest another function.

Copper alloy flanged axe. The butt is straight and has two nicks in it. On just above the centre is modern, and the other just below the butt corner is well patinated and ancient. The flanges are 50mm in length and have slightly inward turned crests. The flange sides are 16mm at their widest point. The surface of the septums are smoother than that of the blade, and have a dark brown even patina with sporadic patches of active bright green corrosion. The blade edges curve outwards to form a crescentric cutting edge, 33mm wide. The blade is 7mm in width at the flange ends tapering…

Object type: AXE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible blade fragment from a Bronze Age flat axe. The blade has a very worn abraded crescentric cutting edge. The sides are slightly concave. The surfaces of the blade have a brown-red patina. The blade is consistently 1mm thick at all points over the surface, which would make it less likely to be from an axe since one would expect it to thicken toward the middle.
