Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete looped transitional palstave axehead dating to the Middle-Late Bronze Age dating from about 1250 - 950BC. The palstave is a transitional type with a deeply undercut stop. All that remains is the centre of the axehead, with the terminals of the blade and butt missing. It is encrusted with corrosion.  It has a thin butt with flanges that expand from the extant areas of the butt to the stop in a triangular shape. The tallest part of the flange is at the stop. The stop ridge is curved and forms a small socket (is deeply undercut but filled with corrosion)…

Record ID: OXON-108CF2
Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment from a probable Late Bronze Age spearhead only the tip survives. It is triangular in plan being truncated by a transverse break. It is a lozenge shape in cross section and has a medium brown patina. It is 44.7mm long, 20.3mm wide, 11.2mm thick and weighs 8.30 grams. Too little of the spearhead survives to assign a type to this fragment. The light weight may imply this is also a modern rail fitting.

County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A section of a copper alloy axehead. It is triangular in section, being a blunt point on one side, and crescent shaped, but not symmetrical across its break, being more pointed at one end than the other. The blade is not facetted. There is some loss of material from the faces. Along the broken face there is a suggestion that it might have been hollow and therefore a section of socketed axehead, but this is not definitive. Dimensions: It is 67mm long, 21mm wide and 11.5mm thick. It weigh 56.83g
