An incomplete cast copper-alloy socketed sickle of Late Bronze Age date (c.1000-800 BC). Description: The sickle remains as approximately three quarters of the socket and the base of the blade. The socket has an oval opening, 26.7mm in length with one half of this missing to halfway down the length of the socket. It has a raised rim with a thickness of 3mm. The socket narrows gradually on all sides, squaring off at its end from which the blade emerges. On the complete side of the socket, the wall is perforated with a single circular hole. The blade extends from the end and b…

A fragment of Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age cast copper alloy socketed, flat-topped sickle of Ewart Park or Llyn Fawr metalworking, corresponding to Needham's (1996) Periods 7 - 8, dating to c. 950 - 500 BC. The find is comprised of the socketed end and part of the sickle blade. The socket is integrally cast (without a visible casting seam) and is positioned at right angles to the blade. It is sub-conical in profile and oval in section. The side opposite the blade is at a slight angle and has a large oval dent, caused by old damage. The socket body …

A fragment of a Middle to Late Bronze Age copper alloy sickle dating to c 1500-800 BC. The fragment is sub trianglular in plan, and droops slightly towards the point. It is lenticular in cross section and still sharp. The sickle has a light green patina and is truncated by an old break. Dimensions: 31.27mm in length; 13.55mm in width (at the break); 1.55mm thick; 1.9g in weight. cf. a similar, but more complete sickle found at Edington Burtle (Pearce 1983: 512-513, no. 648). The fragment is too incomplete to be further classified.

An incomplete of a copper alloy Middle to Late Bronze Age sickle dating to c. 1600-800 BC. The sickle is a crescent shaped triangle. It is 18.2mm wide at one end which is a well abraded break and narrows from this to a soft rounded point that is 6.5mm wide. The sickle is oval in cross section with very rounded edge. However, it would have originally been closer to a lozenge shape when used. The sickle is a light green colour. It is soft and abraded such that its not possible to identify if the blade had been sharpened. The sickle is 66.6mm long, 18.2mm wide, 4.5mm thick and w…

A fragment of a copper alloy, Late Bronze Age blade, possibly from a sickle, 1250-900 BC. The object is composed of a tapering curve of metal, with a central mid rib that runs the length of the object. Either side of the mid rib the object tapers gently in cross section to form the blades. The object has an even green patina all over. Similar complete sickles can be found in Savory 1980 fig.46 no.6 and 7. These are dated to the late Bronze Age and were from a hoard near Llynfawr, Glam.

Cast copper alloy sickle length 116mm, width 26mm. Curved ridge runs down the spine of the blade on the dorsal edge of the sickle, the blade runs three quarter of the length of the object from the tip (which is missing). There is a large semicircular notch (16mm deep, 24mm long) that is 25mm from the rear of the artefact. There is a transverse ridge running across the rear edge of the sickle. The back of the blade is flat. A similar artefact was found in a Bronze Age hoard at Edington Burtie and was dated to 1200-1000BC (Pearce S, 1983, 426-427, 635). Also see GLO-D4D0A6 for a simi…

Bronze age copper alloy sickle. Incomplete curved fragment from a sickle of middle to late Bronze Age date (c. 1400- c.800 BC). The blade curves from top to bottom, and tapers to a point at the end of the blade. There is a distinct central rib running along both faces of the blade. The blade is lenticular in section. Both the inner and outer edges of the blade have been bevelled, demonstrating use and re-use of the sickle. This sickle was most likely socketed rather than tanged; the section is lentoid rather than being stepped, as is seen on tanged examples. Tanged sickles are know…

A copper alloy socket from a Bronze Age Sickle. The socket is conical with a rounded end and the mouth is complete with a slightly bevelled edge. There is an irregular hole in one side of the socket. The start of a blade with curved ribs projects to one side and points downwards. The ribs are on both faces and are matched. The object is broken across the blade. It has a well developed mottled green patina. According to Fox's 1939 paper in The Prehistoric Society Journal, socketed sickles can have lateral or vertical sockets. This one is laterally socketed (which seems to be more co…

Incomplete fragment of a curved blade from a sickle of probable late Bronze Age date (c. 1000 - 700 BC). The fragment is incomplete being broken at both ends, the long edges are abraded and the extant section has been bent in two places. Although the fragment is heavily distorted enough survives to suggest overall shape of the blade which bears a distinct downward curve. The blade measures 93.4mm length (although if straightened would measure 140mm), 23.9mm wide, is 3.2mm thick and weighs 24.31 grams. The blade is broadly sub-rectangular in plan curving distinctly from top to bottom. …
