Object type: AXE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Leicestershire

Bronze age copper alloy axe, 40mm long 30-35mm wide and 4-12mm thick. The object represents the tip of the axe, which widens from 30mm to 35mm at the blade. It weighs 65 grams and has a brownish/green patina. It tapers in thickness from 17mm at the broken end to 3mm at the tip. This is probably part of a mid bronze age straight sided, intrusive? axe.

Record ID: LEIC-046B77
Object type: AXE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy fragment, 34mm long, 8mm wide and 4mm thick. The object has a bright green patina and weighs 5.50 grams. The object is rectangular in form and triangular in section. The narrow edge is slightly rounded and 1mm thick. The widest edge, 4mm thick, has broken and clearly shows two layers of metal with a small void in between(One side has a small triangular protrusion overlapping the break). This would suggest a blade tip perhaps off a small axe or a chisel?

Record ID: LEIC-542023
Object type: AXE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Bronze age copper alloy axe blade fragment, 27mm in length, 14mm wide and 6mm thick with a weight of 3.14g.
The object is sub triangular in form and cross section and consists of a corner of a blade of a probable socketed axe. It has a slightly curved and damaged blade, 1mm thick at its tip. The fragment then widens out and is solid, but in a very damaged state. It was found in the same location as other prehistoric metal fragments (see LEIC-544574 and LEIC-54F15A) suggesting it may have been gathered for re-working?
