A cast copper-alloy casting jet of probabl Late Bronze Age date (1150 Bc-800 BC). This casting jet has a single runner and an uneven, roughly flat surface, at the top. It is sub-circular in plan with a domed lower part. These jets are commonly the result of socketed axe production in the Late Bronze Age. However, they can also be as late as the post-Medieval period. The object has a green patina that has exfoliated in places. 27.0 x 44.7 x 36.1mm. Weight: 130.74g.

A cast copper alloy casting jet of Late Bronze Age to Modern date (1150 BC – 1900). The object is roughly funnel-shaped and has an irregular shaped head with a rough and uneven surface. At the centre of the underside there is a single sprue (feeder). The end of the feeder, in the form of an old break, is sub-circular in cross-section and as it rises towards the head the shape becomes sub-oval. The piece generally has a rough pitted surface with traces of a mid to dark brown patina. 18.9 x 18.0 x 15.9mm. Weight: 9.06g. It is possible that this casting jet is later than the Bronze Age.

A cast copper alloy casting jet of possible Bronze Age date (2150 BC – 800 BC). Length: 26.7mm; width: 29.9mm and 19.0mm thick. Weight: 32.68g. The object is roughly funnel-shaped and in plan has a flat sub-oval concave head, the surface of which is irregular and pitted. This uneven surface was probably created when the molten metal was solidifying. On the underside there is a pair of sprue elements (feeders). Each feeder is in the form of a long stub which is both turned inwards at the ends. The piece has a mid-dark green patina. It is possible that this casting jet is later than…

A cast copper alloy casting jet of possible Bronze Age date (2150 BC – 800 BC). Length: 12.2mm; width: 26.3mm and 13.9mm thick. Weight: 7.13g. The object is roughly funnel-shaped and in plan has a flat sub-oval concave head, the surface of which is irregular and pitted. This uneven surface was probably created when the molten metal was solidifying. On the underside there is a pair of sprue elements (feeders). Each feeder is in the form of a short stub. The piece has traces of a dark green patina, although bright green powdery copper alloy corrosion products are also present on …

A cast copper alloy casting jet of probable Late Bronze Age (1150 BC – 800 BC). Length: 22.1mm; width: 16.7mm and 13.5mm thick. Weight: 11.96g. The object is roughly funnel-shaped and has a flat sub-oval head indented with shallow grooves which largely emanate from the centre. These features were probably created when the molten metal was solidifying. At the centre of the underside there is a single sprue (feeder). The end of the feeder, in the form of an old break, is sub-rectangular in cross-section and as it rises towards the head the shape becomes sub-oval. The piece genera…
