Record ID: SUR-2B3EC8
Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy socketed axehead of late Bronze Age date (c 1000 - 800 BC) corresponding to the Ewert Park metalworking phase (Needham’s (1996) Period 7). The surviving portion of the axehead is 39.4mm in width and 47.5mm in length, comprising the front end which has a flared, semi circular blade, with rounded corners. There is no evidence of any decoration or casting seams. The break across the axehead reveals the interior to be hollow and the cross section to be of a sub rectangular shape.

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of the blade of a late middle to late Bronze Age socketed spear, 53mm in length and possibly of side looped or pegged type (c. 1400 BC - 800 BC). The tip is missing and the wings are incomplete along the full length on both sides, most likely originally being leaf shaped. The midrib is pronounced and has a lozengiform cross sectional profile 8.6mm thick with a hollow centre. The surface is heavily corroded.

Object type: CORE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A later prehistoric flint bladelet core of grey flint with a single striking platform from which a small number of small flakes and blades have been removed. The core appears to have been opportunitsically worked from a large fragment of a crudely or perhaps naturally broken flint nodule, with no evidence of platform preparation. Two patches of grey cortex remain.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper which has been created from a discoidal secondary nodule flake of pale grey flint. The dorsal surface has a large removal scar and short, sub parallel, abrupt retouch along one edge. The ventral surface has a bulb but lacks ripple marks or a striking platform, suggesting the flake may be an opportunistically worked natural potlid fracture (frost) removal from a nodule. This would characterise it as being most likely of later prehistoric date.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper which has been created from a discoidal secondary nodule flake of pale grey-brown flint. The dorsal surface has a large removal scar and a worked edged with long, sub parallel, semi abrupt retouch across one side. The ventral surface has a bulb but lacks ripple marks or evidence of hammered removal, suggesting the flake may be an opportunistically worked natural potlid fracture (frost) removal from a nodule, which would characterise it as being most likely of later prehistoric date.

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy fragment of a Bronze Age axe of socketed type measuring 30.0mm by 38.6mm. The fragment comprises the blade tip which flares out into a curved cutting edge. The axehead has a hollow centre and most of the original surface has been lost. Circa late Bronze Age (c. 1000 BC to 800 BC).

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint piercer, probably dating to the later Bronze Age. The tool is made from a dark grey secondary flint flake, 45.6mm in length and 40.4mm wide. The flake has been hard hammer struck and retains 30-40% cortex on the dorsal surface. A triangular point projects from one end, which has been shaped by abrupt sub parallel retouch along its sides.

Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete later Middle Bronze Age (MBA II, c.1400 - 1200 BC) early Primary Phase palstave of Group III, with ornamented faces and a trident below the stop ridge. The palstave has a well developed stop with high flanges along the sides. The septum has three moulded parallel ridges within it. The blade is wedge-shaped, with straight sides and flares to approximately 70mm in width with a slightly curved cutting edge. Each face of the blade has a vertical rib running down the middle, forming a trident where it intersects with a semi-eliptical ornament below the stop.

Object type: FLAT AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a large cast copper alloy Bronze Age axehead, probably of flat type and dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2200-1900 BC). The axehead is 57.8mm in length and flares out from 31.5mm to 42.7mm with a lenticular to sub rectangular cross section 9.2mm thick. Much of the surface as well as the cutting edge has been lost to corrosion; the butt has broken off in antiquity.

Object type: INGOT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An abraded and corroded copper alloy fragment, possibly from a Bronze Age ingot or from casting waste, but undiagnostic in its present form. There are deep grooves on two sides the object, however it is not clear if these are functional or from casting flaws.

Object type: PENANNULAR RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
A complete, Late Bronze Age penannular ring (or lock-ring) made from decorated gold sheet around a copper alloy core. The ring is oval in plan with a triangular cross-sectional profile. The face has a pronounced midrib and eight smaller concentric ribs running around either side of the face (17 ribs in total) suggesting construction from gold wire, in contrast to the gold sheeting of the inner surface and terminals which is flat and undecorated. The opening in the ring has been damaged, with the gold plate broken to reveal the corroded copper alloy core. One of the terminals has split…

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
A Late Bronze Age copper-alloy socketed axe blade with a 24mm depth of the socket remaining. Possibly of South Eastern type, dating from c. 900-700BC.

Object type: FLAT AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
An Early Bronze Age flat axe. The axe is in poor condition with active corrosion and with only a small area of its original surface surviving. There are no traces of either decoration or of sharpening striations. The original extent of the blade is unclear. At one point the underlying metal has been exposed in a recent gouge and this appears as a copper colour.
