County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete (though broken into three parts 12 weeks after discovery, now glued back together again) large hollow-based flint arrowhead. All-over re-touch, off white/cream coloured flint, which appears to be the natural colour rather than patination. The form is relatively straight sided with slight splaying at barbs. The concavity of the hollow base is relatively slight. Lenght 85mm, width 37mm and thickness 9mm. Hollow based arrow heads, although present in the early Bronze Age (circa 2500-1500 BC) contexts are rare in East Anglia. Ay other example as large as this has not …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An undecorated body sherd from a vessel of possible Early Bronze Age date. The vesicular (porous) fabric is an oxidised mid-orange with one grey reduced surface. The fabric contains sparse rounded grog inclusions (up to 2mm). Other inclusions appear to have been burnt out. They may have been organic and/or the vessel may have been over-fired.

Record ID: IOW-58AE22
Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of a cast copper alloy socketed axehead of Late Bronze Age date (1150 BC – 800 BC). Length 39.2mm, width 23.2mm and 9.1mm thick. Weight 21.32g. The fragment is part of the mouth and a small part of one face. The mouth is double-moulded. On the inside of the mouth there is a slight over-hang. The surviving part of the body has two vertical ribs on the face. One rib is clearly visible but only the top of the other rib has survived near the old break which forms the right hand edge (as viewed from the front). From the position of these two ribs, it can be estimated that th…

The fragment is the lower part of the blade and the cutting edge. The base of the socket is visible along the old break where the metal is smooth and well patinated. Viewed in plan, the cutting edge is slightly and evenly curved with old damage along its edge. In profile, one side is slightly convex and the other side is slightly concave. Viewed from the side it is deeply V-shaped. The fragment is corroded but in a …

Part of a copper-alloy ingot, probably dating from the Bronze Age. The piece is irregular in plan and has uneven surfaces. The breaks are well worn and patinated, suggesting that the fragmentation occurred in antiquity. This is probably part of a plano-convex ingot.
