Record ID: LANCUM-EA582D
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
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

Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy flanged axe head. The two sides diverge slightly towards the head, which splays out from the body forming a crescent shaped blade which angles at approximately 30 degrees from the body, the blade tips slightly short of being at right angles. Part of the blade is missing in one corner. The base is also rounded, although a portion of one side is also absent. The side profile is of a shallow lenticular shape. It is symmetrical. The base and blade are both pointed. There are slight raised flanges on both sides, upper and lower. The axe has a green coloured surface …

Object type: PENANNULAR RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy penannular ring or ring core of probable Bronze Age date (c. 1300-800BC). The ring is made from a circular sectioned loop with a moulded in feature around the outside circumferemce. It is wider in the middle than at the terminals. The material is quite degraded and only half of the ring survives, still, it is apparant that the terminal (the smaller diameter end) was flat. The wider end is more damaged and has been crudely broken. It may be a core onto which gold or silver would have been fixed and the finder comments that traces of gold may be pr…

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Conwy
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A section of what is probably a copper alloy Bronze Age socketed axe head. The blade end survives although the cutting edge is blunt. It is hollow with a wall section of approximately 6mm.

Object type: FLAT AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Published
A Bronze Age flat axe head. It is a trapezoidal in shape,widening towards the blade end. The blade is curved. There is no apparent stop feature. The side profile is slightly lenticular, with bevelled edges, which probably assigns this to Needhams Class 2. Further, the gently curved sides may suggest that it is Sub-class 2C. There is little corrosion, the object has an even brown patina Dimensions: 123mm long and 73mm wide, it is 7mm thick

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Well preserved copper alloy socketed side-looped spearhead. The head of the spear is leaf-shaped with a pronounced midrib. There are two incomplete side loops, situated roughly halfway along the shaft. The shaft is an elongated conical shape.The spearhead has a dark chocolate-brown patina and has some damage to the blade, and the neck of the shaft, whether from use or taphanomic processes is not known. This type of blade is of Davis Type 6, developed side loop, dated to the Acton Park and Taunton phases of the early middle Bronze Age, 1550-1250 BC. Dimensions: 134mm long and 25mm…

A copper alloy axe head. The two sides diverge slightly towards the head, which splays out from the body forming a crescent shaped blade which covers approximately 160 degrees, the blade tips slightly short of being at right angles. The base is also rounded, although perhaps by wear or taphonomic processes rather than intention. The side profile is of a shallow lenticular shape. It is symmetrical. The base and blade are both pointed. There are slight raised flanges on both sides, upper and lower. There is some damage to the blade with a small section missi…
