A complete copper alloy cast palstave with side loop  and lozenge-shaped flanges. The object has a flared blade with a sub- triangular-shaped depression (on front and back) and a worn central mid-rib below the stop-ridge.   The cutting edge is crescentic and relatively unworn; the blade bevels are well formed and the tips of the blade show little sign of wear or resharpening. On the upper blade on both the front and reverse faces is a cast / moulded indented shield-shape pattern.  The loop is relatively small and low. The two slide flanges are well cast and …

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy flat axehead of early Bronze Age date, c.2150 - 1500 BC. The axehead is sub-trapezoidal with an ovate section. It expands to a flared cutting edge at one end and terminates in a worn break at the opposite end. The cutting edge is worn. The axehead is extremely worn and undecorated. No signs of ridges or flanges are present indicating that this is an early flat axe. The metal has a delaminated mid-brown/green patina. The axehead is 43.7mm long, 29.6mm wide, 12.1mm thick and weighs 53.3g.

County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A heavily worn and incomplete Bronze Age palstave axe head. Extensive surface loss has occurred along the edges and surfaces of the find, giving the axe and thin irregular form. The butt end is sub-square, and is slightly more truncated to one side. From the butt, the sides flare slightly. The side flanges are missing; however, the stop ridge is still prominently visible, especially on one side. From the stop ridge, the blade tapers slightly (due to surface loss) before flaring marginally to the cutting edge which is heavily truncated and rounded. A partial rib is visible on one face…

A retouched tertiary flake of dark grey brown flint, probably of later Neolithic to Bronze Age date. The flake is trapezoidal with a projecting point on one corner of the distal edge. This edge has short abrupt retouch along its length with what appears to be a small burin removal at the tip of the point to refine it for use as a piercing or engraving tool.

Object type: MINIATURE OBJECT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A near-complete possible Bronze Age to Roman cast copper alloy miniature object, an axehead, c.1900 BC-AD 100. The object is axehead-shaped; sub-triangular with the corners of the widest end (possibly the axe cutting edge) reduced to a curve, with the opposite end terminating in an old break. The form is reminiscent of a miniature early Bronze Age flat axe. The corrosion and patination with the dark green colour suggests an early date. However, the wear makes it impossible to be certain that the edges are not broken, so it could be an undiagnostic fragment of a larger incomp…
