Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation

The surviving section of the blade is crescent shaped and the object is triangular in profile, narrowing evenly from 4.89mm thick at the break to 0.96mm thick just before the edge of the blade. The cross section is more akin to a pointed oval. The object has a light green patina. Due to very little of the axe surviving, it is difficult to accurately identify the type of Bronz…
