Record ID: BH-5153F1
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a copper-alloy axe of Bronze Age date. The piece consists of the lower part of the blade and could, in theory, date from any part of the Bronze Age. The lack of a visible join along the edges, however, suggests that it was made in a one-piece mould. Therefore, it was probably part of a flat axe or a palstave, of early to middle Bronze Age date. The axe is sub-rectangular in section. It measures 10.2mm wide at the point where it is broken off and tapers towards the cutting edge. This edge is expanded and the blade tips curl upwards slightly on each side. A void within the …
