The muller is sub-oval in plan, with one rounded end and one flat, where the edge is broken. This edge is not as abraded as the rest of the rubber, suggesting that the surface was exposed after the rubber was originally deposited, and is therefore a later break. The stone is flat on the side that was used for rubbing, and concave on the opposite face, where it was used instead as a base for grinding. The muller would have been used with a larger saddle quern to grind grain between the stones to make flour.
The elvan is a fine grained granitic inclusion and contains pale pink felspars and black quartz. The soft felspars would work into hollows and the hard quartz would stand proud of the surface, thus allowing a shearing action to cut and grind the grain. The shape of the muller suggests that it was made from a beach cobble.

This fragment is middle Bronze Age in date and measures 93mm in length, 22mm in width.
One of the breaks on this fragment may be recent but the other is ancient. There is considerable recent linear scraping along the faces, probably due to agricultural damage, there is also some limited recent damage to the blade edges, though irregular notching appears ancient, possibly resulting from corrosion. The breaks therefore show no evidence of deliberate breakage. The metal condition is relatively good with areas of corrosive encrustations limited. The surface is patinated a medium to dark brown.

Both faces have been extensively flaked, with additional abrupt flaking all the way around the edges. One face has had many short flakes removed, but to one side only. This face has also had less abrupt working to the edges than the other face, and the point has not been worked, wheareas on the other face it has been, quite extensively, making it very sharp. The butt end is rounded but also quite sharp.
The flint is dark grey/ black in colour with spots of a lighter brown. It also has a very light patination in places (c.5%).
The abrupt flaking around the edges is probably related to the hafting of the blade.

Incomplete cast copper alloy socketed axe head, missing its side loop, mouth and moulding. The mouth would have been sub-rectangular in plan. The surface is worn and pitted, especially along the casting seams, but there is a layer on one face that remains so that three ribs are still visible, between the side edges of the axe head. The ribs extend down about three quarters of the length of the body of the axe head, and the central rib is more pronounced and appears to be the longest. Half of the other face is missing, and has exposed the organic material still held within the axe. The sides of the body of the axe are parallel until they reach the blade which is slightly flanged. The cutting edge and blade tips are still intact, if somewhat abraded. The axe is 83 mm long, 30 mm wide at the break below the mouth and 37 mm wide at the blade, 20 mm in depth and 3 mm in thickness.

It measures 38.5mm in length and has a cutting edge max. 24.8mm wide. At the socket end (narrowest part) it is 16.8mm wide. It weighs 31.28g.
The axehead is thinnest at the blade end (1.1mm thick) expanding over the length to 12.7mm at the socket end.
The mouth has a slight moulding which is emphasised by a groove beneath it. The loop is cast to the side (and not part of the body of the axe as so many miniature example are) and is C-shaped (8.7x7mm) with a piercing 2.6mm in diameter.
The surface of the miniature axe has lost some of its original patina, although it is mostly smooth and shiny and dark in colour. There is no sign of wear on the loop(suggesting it was not worn as an amulet).
The dating of miniature axeheads is from the Late Bronze Age to the Roman period, although they are more common from the Roman period. Their function is probably as an amulet or votive. This axehead is unlike those recorded from Wiltshire so far, which are mostly crude interpretations, whereas this is much more faithful to a true Bronze Age axe. That said however, it is very flat in section and its splayed blade is rather more reminiscent of palstave axeheads than socketed ones. The socket and loop are rather more Late Bronze Age, Ewart Park types.
Robinson comments in WAM 1995 that better-made examples could be used as tools of some sort. He comments on this particular object: "To my mind this is a classic "model" but not miniature axehead. They are always much better made than the miniature axeheads. The example we have in Wiltshire Heritage Museum is 51 mm long which is close enough to yours at 38.5. I had thought that they were Late Bronze Age but could never find strong dating evidence for them".
This example has an unusable socket as it is too shallow.Daniel Pett38.573-1.728045WILT-1312F7183469axehead1ROMANMINIATURE OBJECTSU1971finds-183469124.86WILT-12C795-1150x41218images/khinds/21411590014671312D01A3E42007-06-14T13:14:37ZProbablyx137122007-04-30T23:00:00Z12151.437682BRONZE AGECopper alloy41427BA113http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/BRONZE AGECertainCivil Parish2022-07-14T07:07:50.424ZNorfolk10CountyROMAN3Metal detectorSF-295DE8.jpg72382007From finder171341BADistrictPossibly2SF6917410Restricted Accessx137129.41Breckland106272011-02-24T12:19:48ZReturned to finderEasternCircaAn incomplete cast copper-alloy awl which could be Bronze Age or possibly Roman in date.

This find was recovered at a Weekend Wanderers one day metal detecting rally held at Crookham, near Thatcham on 11/02/07. Identification made from photographic image only and therefore this record may fall below our usual standard.

A Bronze Age copper alloy short-flanged axe of the Taunton metalwork assemblage period, dating from circa 1400-1300BC. Although the axe is flanged there are no stop-ribs evident and therefore the axe is probably transitional in style and date between the winged axes and palstaves. Rowlands MJ; The Production and Distribution of Metalwork in the Middle Bronze Age (1976) BAR 31; cat no 190; plate 25; shows a good example of a short flanged axehead (all cast with no stops) from Little Shelford - Cambs. Similarly, Schmidt and Burgess; The axes of Scotland and Northern England (1981); Nos. 525 and 533. The axe has a mottled green to brown patination and is 151mm long by 70.6mm wide.
