TREASURE CASE : 2007 T295 The pre-conservation state of the palstaves meant that the clayey soil adhering to the surfaces may have obscured more detailed typological features. However, given their heavily corroded condition this is unlikely. Unfortunately, this does mean that the weights of the objects include the adhering soil. Description of objects 1. Palstave. Light green coloured with heavy corrosion and chipping. It has a damaged butt, worn flanges and potentially the remains of a broken loop. There is no decoration evident. The narrow blade and apparent shape of …

TREASURE CASE : 2013 T11 Addenda to 2011 T768. Descriptive catalogue 1. Fragment from the blade of a cast, copper alloy socketed axe. Blade splays out towards a crescentic cutting edge with relatively hooked, asymmetrical blade tips. Casting seams are visible on either side and there are two seams within the socket tip. The metal is relatively well preserved, with greenish patina and possible evidence of use wear. The form of the blade is similar to a large array of socketed axe types (cf. Schmidt & Burgess 1981) and no greater typological resolution can be achieved. Dim…

TREASURE CASE : 2014 T442. Descriptive catalogue: A complete, cast, copper-alloy socketed axe. The mouth is sub-square and has a horizontal moulded collar; the loop is attached to the lower moulding. There are three, vertical moulded, parallel ribs on both faces; they are evenly distributed across the face. The sides splay gradually, and then curve outwards abruptly to form a semi-circular cutting-edge, which is slightly damaged; the blade tips protrude towards the mouth. The casting seams are visible on both sides, but appear to have been removed on the lower half, close to th…

TREASURE CASE : 2017 T1115. A hoard of six Bronze Age copper-alloy axe heads, found in a stream. Five of the axe heads are socketed axes and one is a relatively rare example of a late palstave from a Ewart Park hoard (although other examples are known from East Yorkshire, see discussion, below). All six of the axe heads date to the Ewart Park phase of the Late Bronze Age (c. 1000 - 800 BC). Socketed axe specialist Dr Dot Boughton has suggested a very late 9th - early 8th century BC date (pers. comm.). Note on condition: All axes have suffered the effects of being deposited i…

Circumstances of discovery: The finds are considered to be an addendum to 2014 T442, a find of 11 Late Bronze Age objects, primarily socketed axes found dispersed over an area of 3 by 10 metres. It is not clear the area over which objects Nos. 1-4 were found, but they are consistent with a single find/hoard and with 2014 T442. Descriptive catalogue: A complete, cast, copper-alloy socketed axe. The mouth is sub-square and has a horizontal moulded collar. A second moulding runs around the axec.15mm from the mouth and a loop projects fro…

The axe head is wedge-shaped with a square socket mouth of uneven thickness and a single raised mouth-moulding forming a heavy collar. The loop sits to one side below this; it is broadly ovate in section. Internally the socket tapers and narrows from the mouth to the cutting edge. Externally the axehead has broadly parallel sides before expanding into the blade and cutting edge which flares…

Three fragmentary Bronze Age objects, an addenda to hoard 2010 T647. 1. A very worn spearhead tip, with almost all the blade either side of the central socket missing/ broken. The socket is circular in cross-section and measures 9.51mm at the break (internal 5.97mm). The metal is rather thinner to one side (face of the spear) than the other. The blade is c.3.5mm thick along the breaks, all of which are recent-ish. The point is very worn and damaged, missing its original tip (it is now 5.34x4.15mm). Where the original patina survives, it is smooth, shiny and brown with some pitting. …

In 2012 a Middle Bronze Age hoard was discovered while metal detecting on cultivated land. The find consists of 41 copper alloy objects split across two deposits or concentrations of finds, with a small number of finds found a short distance away. All the objects are of a similar typo-chronology and are likely to represent a single hoard comprised of 31 'ornaments', 8 'tools' and 4 'other' or unidentified objects. The artefacts were recovered by the finders from two deposits in close proximity (c.2-3m apart), with two pits subsequently identified by a local amateur archaeology grou…

One of the breaks between two of the fragments may be deliberate, the other breaks appear to have occured during dep…
