Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD

County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Bronze Age copper alloy socketed axe fragment, blade end. There are well filed casting lines running down either side. There are no raised ribs on either surface. There is a long groove on the broken end - the end of the socket. Very little of the cutting edge remains. The sides of the cutting edge do not flare - this does not appear to have been re-sharpened very often. Much of the original surface is missing on one side. The original surface has a fine brown patina. This may have been deliberately cut. Viewed from the sides the broken edge is slightly convex (a very shallow v), per…

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The object appears to be the tip of a Bronze Age spear head. It has been made from cast copper alloy. In plan it is an elongated triangular shape, with a blunt tip.

Butt end of a cast copper alloy palstave axehead. Worn irregular tranverse break across body. Low flanged. Corroded with some traces of bronze disease, although the surface is unpatinated in areas. Miscasting has resulted in an additional strip of metal projecting along one side of the axehead. There is no sign of any attempt to remove this.

In cross-section the blade is lenticular from an arched ridge, the side drop down to the blade in a straight line. The edge of the blade is distinct from the main body because they are slightly concave and only 3mm thick, there are a series of linear grooves that run the length of this edge where the blade was cleaned and sharpened. The condition of the blade is excellent, it has a rich dark brown patina.…
