Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a cast copper alloy plano-convex ingot, sub-triangular in plan and profile, and plano-convex in section. The fragment rises up from its semi-circular outer edge, which is about 10 mm in thickness, to the centre of the ingot, where it is broken, and 27 mm in thickness or height. The two sides which look deliberately waisted may have been filed after sections were taken out of the ingot, and have since worn smooth and corroded to form rounded yet defined rectangular edges. There are also a few pits in the base, side and upper surface, which were probably formed from air pock…

Fragment of a cast copper alloy sword blade, rectangular in plan and profile and lozenge-shaped in section. Both cutting edges are worn and incomplete and the perpendicular edges to these are broken so that the original length of the blade is unknown as well as the position of this fragment along it, though it is at the end that tapers towards the tip, as any raised area has flattened out in section. The smooth dark green patina survives better on one face of the blade than the other, which has an uneven surface of raised areas of corrosion product. The lozenge-shaped section of the…

Cast copper alloy fragment of a collar from a socketed axe, semi-circular in plan, B-shaped in profile and in section. The collar is quite substantial at about 12 mm deep and 9 mm thick, and there is quite a deep indented area below it before the body of the axe begins with a raised ridge. Along this ridge at one side of the axe is the remains of the base of the side loop, which has worn into a point. The surface is pitted and some of the original patina remains on the collar but the projecting sections have become worn and corroded and there are patches of light green bronze disease.…

Cast copper alloy fragment of a flanged blade from a socketed axe, semi-circular in plan, triangular in profile and lozenge-shaped in section. The blade edge is worn and incomplete so that it is only flanged on one side. The broken edge reveals an oblong aperture which is the end of the socket for the haft or handle of the axe. The original surface has mostly corroded away and there are patches of light green bronze disease. There is not enough detail to precisely date this fragment within the Late Bronze Age, but some comparanda are offered below. Pearce (1983) illustrates a simila…

Cast copper alloy chisel, rectangular in plan and section, and triangular in profile. The socketed collar is missing and the blade end has been hammered flat so that is has flanged outwards slightly on both sides. The casting seam on both sides has been filed down, and there are now lumps of corrosion product following these lines which obscure the detail. The surface is generally corroded and pitted with patches of powdery bright green bronze disease.

Cast copper alloy palstave or flanged axe blade, trapezoidal in plan, rhomboidal in profile and rectangular in section, at the broken end. The opposite blade end tapers to a rounded and damaged edge in profile. The blade is broad and incurved or inturned, instead of flanged, at the cutting edge and has the remains of what might be the tip of a moulded 'V' or shield at the broken end, but this is made more pronounced by corrosion, and it does not extend any further down the centre of the blade. On the opposite face there is a large cavity near the broken edge which was probably where a…

The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica, and additional large inclusions such as quartz not natural to the clay to make it an admixture. The colour is dark brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd. This type of gabbroic admixture fabric is seen in Bronze Age vessels, dating from c.2100-1150 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

Pottery body sherd with an incised line across the top edge of the exterior of the sherd. This sherd is made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars and dark augite and is dark brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd. This gabbroic fabric and type of decoration are seen on local Bronze Age vessels, from the Trevisker Ware tradition, dating from c.1800-1200 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

A piece this size is likely to have come from imported Devon flint as local pebbles of this flint are smaller and often flawed.

A hard hammer struck fragment of dark grey flint with cream flecks. The piece is nearly shattered with cracks from other hard hammer strikes. Perhaps a pebble was broken up if not a core. An available straight sharp margin has been semi-abruptly retouched .Butler(2005) illustrates a cutting flake on page 186, fig 76, 9.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint scraper, oblong in plan and plano convex in profile. The dorsal side surface has flake removals with both distal and proximal ends spalled. On the ventral side the distal and proximal edges are fractured and there is invasive flake removal. There is some retouch on the proximal edge. The flint is pale grey in tones. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 154, Fig. 5.138, No. 13 which is dated to the Bronze Age.

Flint scraper, sub triangular in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. The dorsal side surface has large flake removal. The distal end is denticulated and the proximal edge serrated. The left margin is snapped and the right has a small amount of cortex. On the ventral side the distal and proximal ends are denticulated. The flint is tan grey with light speckles and a secondary cortex of dark cream in colouring.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pottery body sherd of fine granitic ware made of admixture clay with inclusions of granite and mica. The fabric is a mid-brown colour on the interior and a dark brown to black colour on the exterior of the sherd. This type of admixture fabric is seen in Bronze Age vessels, dating from c.2100-1150 BC (Quinnell, forthcoming).

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pottery base sherd of coarse granitic ware made of admixture clay with large inclusions of quartz and granite. The fabric is a mid-brown colour throughout and there is a fracture running diagonally through the exterior of the sherd, where an oval section has spalled out of the sherd, which adds to its fragility. This type of admixture fabric is seen in Bronze Age vessels, dating from c.2100-1150 BC (Quinnell, forthcoming).

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pottery body sherd made of a coarse fabric with an uneven exterior surface that has several depressions caused by the erosion of large inclusions out of the matrix or perhaps seed impressions. The fabric has fine inclusions of pale felspars and mica with some larger inclusions of quartz added in. The exterior of the sherd is a mid-brown and in the interior more orangey-brown. This type of admixture fabric is found in Bronze Age vessels dating from c.2100 -1150 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pottery body sherd made of a coarse fabric with an uneven exterior surface that is undecorated. The interior of the sherd has broken away so that only a small amount of the original surface remains. The fabric has large inclusions of quartz, felspar and a dark material, possibly tourmaline, with a mid-brown exterior and dark brown interior. This type of admixture fabric is found in Bronze Age vessels dating from c.2100 -1150 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

Flint scraper, leaf shaped in plan and almond shaped in profile. The dorsal side surface has mesial ridging with cortex on the left side and flake removal on the right. The right margin is serrated. The ventral side has a convex surface with a small chip on the distal tip. The flint is possibly from Beer Head and is dark brown in tone with a high lustre. The secondary cortex is dark beige in colour. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 154, Fig. 5.138, No. 1 which is dated to the Bronze Age period.
