Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular piece of a copper-alloy ingot, probably dating from the Bronze Age. The piece is sub-triangular in plan and has near-vertical, irregular sides, none of which appears to be the original surface. The upper surface is broadly flat, whereas the underside is less regular and there are several air pockets within the casting. Length: 38.8mm; width: 36.4mm; thickness: 23.2mm. Weight: 124.46g. This piece is typical of the fragments of plano-convex ingot commonly found associated with hoards of the Middle to Late Bronze Age. Comparable fragments have been found nearby: see…

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of copper alloy which appears to be an incomplete section of a blade. It is possible that this fragment is a small part of a blade of Bronze Age date (c.2350-801BC). Weight is 14.3g, incomplete length is 29.65mm, width is 25.31mm and thickness is 4.76mm. The cross section was probably originally a flattish oval with the edges tapering out very thin, now mostly missing. The upper and lower surfaces do not seem to have had a higher point/ridged longitudinal centre despite the presence of corrosion product and some patches where the original surface seems to be missing.
