Workflow stage: Published
Bronze Age stone battle axe head. The stone is unfinished. It has been polished, however it has split at the end along what appears to be a natural fault in the stone. The haft hole is only drilled about three quaters of the way through. It therefore seems that the axe was discarded when it split part way through its production.

Fragment of a cast copper alloy axe blade of Middle to Late Bronze Age date. It is not possible to establish whether it is from a palstave or a socketed axe because there only 20mm remains of the length.

Possible blade fragment from a Bronze Age flat axe. The blade has a very worn abraded crescentric cutting edge. The sides are slightly concave. The surfaces of the blade have a brown-red patina. The blade is consistently 1mm thick at all points over the surface, which would make it less likely to be from an axe since one would expect it to thicken toward the middle.

Bronze age copper alloy axe, 40mm long 30-35mm wide and 4-12mm thick. The object represents the tip of the axe, which widens from 30mm to 35mm at the blade. It weighs 65 grams and has a brownish/green patina. It tapers in thickness from 17mm at the broken end to 3mm at the tip. This is probably part of a mid bronze age straight sided, intrusive? axe.

County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy fragment, 34mm long, 8mm wide and 4mm thick. The object has a bright green patina and weighs 5.50 grams. The object is rectangular in form and triangular in section. The narrow edge is slightly rounded and 1mm thick. The widest edge, 4mm thick, has broken and clearly shows two layers of metal with a small void in between(One side has a small triangular protrusion overlapping the break). This would suggest a blade tip perhaps off a small axe or a chisel?

Possible copper alloy axe or chisel. The object has a pointed oval socket with a slightly expanded lip. The socket has concave sides which flare outwards gradually towards the convex cutting edge. The concave sides have a slight lip to them which disappears once they meet the straight edge. The hollow socket tapers as it goes towards the cutting edge, being solid approximately 17mm before the edge. The cutting edge is very worn and blunt. No decoration is visible. The surface displays localised evidence of active bronze disease, mixed between light brownish deposits of an uncert…

A fragment of a Late Bronze Age socketed bronze axe, dating to 1000-700BC. The fragment, part of the blade, is 25mm in length, 42mm in width across the blade, 11mm at its thickest part and weighs 34.11g. It is much abraded, which has lead to the loss of most of the original surface, including the cutting edge.
