Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a copper alloy, side looped and socketed spear (spearhead) of probably the Middle Bronze Age period, dating from c. BC 1500 - c. BC 1150. The fragment would have made the tip of the spear. The object is broadly triangular in plan and lozenge (diamond shaped) in section. There is a raised rib running the length of the fragment on both the front and the reverse face. From the rib each side of the fragment slopes down towards the blade. The cutting edges of the blade are damaged and much of the edge is now missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The tip of the fragment is also…

Object type: FLAT AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy (Bronze) flat axe of the Early Bronze Age period dating from c. 2250 BC - 1900 BC. The flat axe is broadly trapezoidal in plan with a splayed crescent shaped blade. In profile it is broadly lentoid (pointed oval), with slight tapering edges. In cross section the axe is lentoid. The axe is broken toward the butt of the axe, but more than three-quarters of the axe survives. The break is relatively jagged and uneven; however it has a similar patina to that of the rest of the axe - suggesting damage in antiquity. The sides of the axe gently expand in wi…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete knapped lithic implement of the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age period, probably dating from c. 2400 - c. 1600 BC. The object is probably a secondary flake removed from a larger core, and then subjected to further working, and was probably used as a scraper tool. The object is broadly pentagonal in plan and broadly D shaped in section. Around 95% of the remaining cortex covers the ventral face of the tool. There are two removal scars on the surface on the left side, the lower removal is broadly triangular in plan and the upper removal is broadly square with pronounced…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
Flint working debitage of probably the mid to late Bronze Age period, dating from c. 1600 - c. 800 BC. The object is probably an implement formed of a tertiary flake removed from a larger core, and then subjected to further working. The object is broadly rectangular in plan and a tapered D shape in section. The dorsal face has two broadly rectangular removal scars on the surface, the removal on the right side is narrower than the one on the left, and both exhibit conchoidal ripple marks radiating from the striking platform at the proximal end. There appears to be evidence of short …

Object type: FLAT AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete decorated flat axe of the Early Bronze Age, dating from c. 2000 BC - 1700 BC. This fits with Early Bronze Age (EBA phase II / III), of metalworking stage IV-VI, which corresponds to Needham's (1996) Period 2-3 circa 2250 - 1900 CAL. BC. The flat axe is broadly sub-rectangular in plan with a splayed crescent shaped blade. In profile it is broadly lentoid(pointed oval), with slight tapering edges. In cross section the axe is lentoid. The axe is broken toward the butt of the axe, but more than three-quarters of the axe survives. The break is relatively jagged and uneven;…

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete, copper alloy, side looped and socketed spear (spearhead) of probably the Middle Bronze Age period, dating from c. BC 1500 - c. BC 1150. Most of the spear remains but the tip, side loops and the bottom half of the base are missing. The spearhead is sub-triangular in plan and profile with a sub-oval / leaf-shaped blade, hollow socket and the remains of two cast side loops. The blade (sides and tip) of the spearhead is incomplete having been damaged in the ploughsoil. Therefore, accurate dimensions of the blade length and width cannot be given. The surviving blade measures 4…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete knapped rounded scraper tool or secondary debitage flake, of probably the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age period, dating from c. 3,300 BC to c. 1,000 BC). The flake is broadly S shape in cross section, and is oval in plan. Minimal retouch is present along the right edge of the distal face (short, subparallel, low angle). The flake has been broken at the distal end. Conchoidal ripples are present on the ventral face. The flake has been made from light brown translucent flint, with little surface patination, but with flecks of black and white within the stone. Len…
