Record ID: HAMP-DEA849
Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of copper alloy socketed axehead of Late Bronze Age date. The find comprises a portion of the mouth, the complete loop, and a portion of the body with traces of three moulded ribs. The 'inside' of the axe has a rough appearance. Apart from the mouth all edges are heavily abraded and patinated in the same dark green as the other surfaces. In places this patination is now missing to reveal a paler light green surface. This is most evident on the reverse break of the body, perhaps suggesting more recent damage by plough or at the time of discovery. It is possible t…

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy socketed axe fragment of indeterminate type, probably of Wiburton-Wallington, Ewart Park or Llyn Fawr metalworking industries and of Bronze Age date (c.1150-600 BC). The axe is represented by a blade fragment only with surviving dimensions of 27.7mm long, max 54mm wide and 12.3mm thick and weighs 62.82g. The top of the fragment has traces of the base socket, broken in old damage. The blade faces are flat across the width and gradually convergent with no traces of ribbing surviving. The remaining portion of the surviving side of the blade is flat, creating a su…

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete Late Bronze Age copper alloy socketed axehead, with the lower part of the socket and all of the cutting edge missing below a non-recent break. A casting seam runs the full length of the sides from the almost circular mouth over a double collar to the break (that on one side over the side loop as well). All four corners below the lower collar are chamfered so that the cross-section is octagonal. Each chamfer, running between two ribs, narrows and curves outwards as it descends. At the break there is a strong difference in the thickness of the metal, between 2mm on o…

A fragment of the socket from a cast copper alloy socketed axe dating to the late Bronze Age (1100 BC -800 BC), 26.2mm in length, comprising a corner of the socket. The profile of the socket appears hexagonal. There are breaks to all sides of the fragment, so nothing from the rim or blade remains.

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a copper alloy socketed axehead dating to the later Bonze Age (c.1000-700 BC).
The fragment is from the socket end of the axehead and presents a slight rib at the mouth for the collar. The body is faceted and presents three facets on this fragment. The surface has a smooth light green patina.
The fragmentary condition of the axe makes typological identification indeterminate.
Dimensions: Length 39.14mm; width 24.54mm; thickness 3.56mm; weight 10.5g

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy socketed axehead fragment, dating from the Late Bronze Age to early Iron Age,(c. 950-750 BC).
The surviving element consists of the cutting edge which is crescentic, and sharply flaring. The surviving fragment has a hollow centre, representing the beginning of a socket. The front and rear surfaces of the axe are slightly concave with multiple sub-oval indentations and there are raised casting seams remaining along each side. The blade edge is worn, and the tips irregular through use. while the breaks on the body are also old and worn. The exterior surfaces o…

County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Gently curved fragment of the mouth of a Late Bronze Age copper alloy socketed axehead. Below the external rounded thickening there is a horizontal rib moulding. The breaks are not recent. The shiny surface, especially evident on the interior, is probably the result of tin enrichment. Extant length and width 20.8 and 26.3mm. Weight 11.3g. c.1000 - c.700 BC.

County: Cardiff
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a cast copper alloy socketed axe head of Late Bronze Age date, likely dating from the Wilburton-Wallington metalworking phase to the Llyn Fawr Phase (c. 1140 to 700 BC).
The fragment consists solely of part of the blade nearest to one blade tip, one side and face of the axe, and part of the very bottom of the socket of the axe. The cutting edge of the blade is missing, but enough remains of the side and blade to see that the blade curved down from a now missing projecting blade tip. The fragment measures 24.9mm from the broken tip to the break perpendicular to the b…

Socketed axe, of tapering sub-rectangular section: - of chocolate brown patination with patchy iron oxide deposits to the surface, somewhat encrusted around the side loop. A large fragment is missing to one side of the mouth of the socket, otherwise small losses of surface elsewhere to the socket, side loop and the cutting edge, showing a paler grey/green corroded surface below. Both sides retain a casting seam, the sides flare slightly towards the crescent-shaped cutting edge, the axe is undecorated apart from the standard double collar at, and below the mouth…

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Rhondda Cynon Taf
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy socketed axe head of indeterminate type and of Late Bronze Age date, probably of the Ewart Park metalworking phase (c. 1000-800BC). The axe is incomplete, missing large parts of the mouth moulding, the side loop, the entire blade edge, and any potential blade tips. This lack of key diagnostic features makes it hard to place this axe into a typology, but it shows similarities to the South Eastern Type.
The mouth moulding is a simple raised band c. 10mm wide in its surviving areas. The mouth is 28.2mm thick at the mouth moulding and 33.3mm wide, with inte…

Copper alloy socketed axehead fragment. The cutting edge and the associated outer part of a socketed axe, with scant inswing discernible from the cutting edge to the upper and lower sides. Robustly cleaned by the finder, possibly resulting in the rounding of fracture surfaces and the blunting of the blade itself. The identification is suggested by the cavity behind the cutting edge and between the sides of the fragment. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age, 1000-800 BC.

Copper alloy possible socketed axe fragment. Possibly a fragment from the mouth of a socketed axe; if so, subsequently partly melted in the course of recycling. Presented together with other unburnt socketed axe fragments, ingots and metalworking debris. If from the same find-spot, these might comprise scrap from a metalworkers hoard, and as such would constitute Treasure under the 1996 Act. However, it is uncertain whether their presentation together signals their identical find-spot, or an origin from among less interesting objects and scrap from a wider area. Suggested date: Late B…
