An incomplete Late Bronze Age cast copper alloy tanged chisel, probably of Wilburton or Ewart Park metalworking industry, dating from 1150 to 750 BC. The object comprises of part of the tang and a significant part of the blade. The chisel tang is oval in cross-section, and has a surviving length of 19.03mm from the break to the collar. The break is worn and heavily patinated suggesting damage in antiquity. The tang flares as it reaches the collar which is sub oval in form. From the collar the blade chisel flares, beginning at 8.33mm wide and expanding to a surviving width of 13.78mm. …

Bronze fragment, possibly of Bronze Age date but of uncertain artefact type The fragment has broken on one end (with a surviving length of 47.2mm and a weight of 29.0g) and the other end is of irregular sub-rectangular section (13mm x 7mm) and is corroded and heavily-pitted. The sides of the terminal are straight and near-parallel as far as a stop (17mm from the terminal where it has a width and thickness of 15.0mm and 9.0mm respectively. Above the stop the sides are straight but more divergent to the break (with a width and thickness of 18.8mm and 7.0mm respectively). The septum…

Bronze Age tanged and collared chisel of Late Bronze Age date, probably of Wilburton or Ewart Park metalworking industry, corresponding with Needham's (1996) Periods 6-7, dated to 1150 - 750BC. The chisel is incomplete missing nearly all the tang (with a surviving length of 50.8mm and a weight of 19.0g). The surviving part of the tang is short (at 3mm) and appears to be of sub-square section. The tang gradually widens to define a flanged shoulder/ "collar" moulding of sub-oval form, probably worn (15.2mm long and 13.3mm wide) and gradually narrows below the flanged shoulder. The si…

Bronze tanged chisel of Middle Bronze Age date, c.1500 - 1100BC. The chisel is comparatively small, with a distorted length of 50.83mm (c. 54mm undistorted). The artefact is thickest at its middle (at 3.18mm) and thins to the blade and tang end. The sides are divergent and straight along the tang and gently curved along the blade. The blade edge has a width of 16.84mm and is also gently curved. Little of the original surface survives, which appears to have had a black patination. The current surface is mid-green to brown. The chisel weighs 6.2g. Non-destructive analysis to ascertai…

Bronze Age tanged and collared chisel fragment, likely to be of Late Bronze Age date. The chisel is represented by the blade, collar, and the beginning of the tang and has a surviving length of 44.7mm.
