Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
An early Bronze Age flanged axehead dating to the Arreton and Aylesford periods, c. 1700 to 1500 BC.
The handle of the axe is no longer present due to a break.

These extend towards the blade and stop just beyond the termination of the side flanges. The blade flattens and widens from the ridges to a maximum width of 64.84 mm. There is a little bit of damage to one side of the blade tip.

Record ID: DUR-A24C08
Object type: LUNULA
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
The lunula is in two parts and nearly complete, only missing one of the circular terminals. The object is made of gold and so the precious metal content is more than 10%.
The lunula is semi-circular in plan although both parts have been folded. There is one part which does not have a terminal and it is this section which is less folded making the semi-circular shape more obvious. The widest section of the lunula is where the two pieces have broken apart and then the object tapers towards the terminals. The section which still has a circular terminal is more severely folded and ther…
