Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper of later prehistoric date made form a primary nodule flake of dark grey flint, with a thick pale grey cortex. The flake is triangular, with a narrow striking platform. One distal corner and a side adjacent  to the striking platform have patches of short abrupt and semi abrupt retouch to create working edges for casual use.

Two highly corroded cast copper alloy fragments totalling 180.09g, possibly part of a late Bronze Age bun ingot (Circa 1150 - 600 BC) or just casting waste. The larger fragment (57.4mm by 42.5mm by 19.6mm) has a curved surface which may suggest an origin in a bowl furnace rather than a mould.

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
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 53mm in width and 43.9mm in length, comprising the front end which has a flared, semi circular blade, with pointed ends. There is no evidence of any decoration or casting seams; however most of the original surface has been lost to corrosion. The break across the axehead reveals the interior to be hollow and the cross section to be of a sub rectangular shape.

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.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Middle Bronze Age socketed flame-shaped spearhead, 63.3mm in length and probably of Davis’ (2012) Group 6 (developed side-looped type), dating to the earlier Middle Bronze Age, c.1550 - 1250 BC. The socket is incomplete, 14.3mm in diameter and ends in an old break. The socket tapers seamlessly into a thick rounded midrib which runs to the blade tip. The cross section is lenticular with a clear distinction between rounded midrib and the narrow, rounded wings which taper to the tip with slightly concave sides on the fron…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Middle Bronze Age unlooped primary / early palstave of Group 1 (following Schmidt and Burgess 1981), 157mm in length. The palstave has a low stop (17.1 thick) fused with flanges along the sides which taper smoothly back to the butt providing a lenticular side profile. The blade is wedge-shaped, with slightly concave sides and flares to approximately 53.3mm in width at the rounded cutting edge. There are traces of midribs along the blade and possible traces of a shield decoration on one face to the front of the stop. The surface has mostly been lost.
