County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete fragment of a cast copper alloy socketed axehead of Bronze Age date 1000-800 BC. The fragment consists of a part of the rim of the socket. There is a raised casting seam running laterally and centrally to the fragment. The collar consists of a single stepped raised edge at the socketed end. The remaining profile suggests it is from a sub-rectangular socket and is therefore a curvilinear profile. The surface is pitted and some of the original patina remains on the collar and there are patches of light green. There is not enough detail to precisely date this fragment howeve…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped lithic implement of early Bronze Age date. The implement is roughly figure of eight-shaped in plan with an irregular plano-convex section. Evidence of knapping is only present in one area of the implement where a semi-circular notch has been created with steep sides which taper to form a sharp edge. The limited knapping suggests this piece was a naturally occurring flint with the notch removed for a function. The flint is a mid whitish-brown colour with no evidence of cortex re-growth. The implement is 66.2mm long, 37.6mm wide, 15.5mm thick and weighs 36.1g.
