Object type: GOUGE

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy Bronze Age gouge found as a single find. It has a circular mouth and a flat top, the mouth and socket are damaged. There is also damage or wear on the gouge furrow, largely caused by bronze disease but also faint striations can be seen in the furrow, possibly indicating sharpening. The gouge survives in a very good condition and much of the well-finished original surface still survives. The mouth of the socket is also experiencing some active corrosion; bronze disease is affecting the metal. The majority of the gouge is still covered with the original surface, which has a…

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a cast copper alloy spearhead dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC. The fragment comes from the tip end and all that survives is the tip proper. The spearhead seems to have been very long and thin judging by the angles of the two sides. The midrib is very shallow, forming a lozenge section and is solid. The blade edges are eroded, and the whole artefact is worn, with a pitted surface, which is light greyish-green. An insufficient portion of the spearhead remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed. However, as t…

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment, copper-alloy spearhead probably dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC. The mib-rib and the wings are intact, but the entire object is worn and corroded. The blade edge has been lost due to damage and corrosion. The object has a dark green patina with patches of copper corrosion products. An insufficient portion of the spearhead remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed, though it is probably comparable with the range of spearheads in Davis Groups 6-11.

Object type: FLAT AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete, early Bronze Age flat axehead dating from 2150 – 1500 BC. The axe survives in poor condition and is cast in copper alloy, which is heavily pitted on one side. The axe has a mid greenish-brown patina. The butt of the axe is thin, measuring 24.2mm wide and 2.9mm thick. The sides of the butt end are rounded. Low flanges run from the butt ends, tapering off to the blade tips. The main body of the axe tapers into the blade proper. The lower blade is badly corroded and so much of the cutting edge has been lost or damaged. The blade tips are also damaged. The width of the tips m…

The tip of a cast copper alloy spearhead dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC. The spear tip has a hollow central core, and the blades apparently have decorative lines which converge on the point of the tip; these lines may represent the hammered and sharpened edges. There is some ‘bronze disease’ on the edges and small spots on the main body. From the illustration, it would appear the object is probably comparable with the range of spearheads in Davis Groups 6-11.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy socketted, leaf-shaped spearhead dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC. The main body of the spearhead survives, but the tip and the main part of the socket are missing. The spear head is small and slim. It has a hollow spine that runs up the centre; the blades either side of this are narrow, with bevelled edges. The artefact is in poor condition. From the illustration, it would appear the object is probably comparable with the range of spearheads in Davis Groups 6-11.

An incomplete cast copper alloy spearhead dating from the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1550 – 800 BC .The spearhead is triangular in plan and has been broken just above the neck where the shaft would have fitted. It is decorated on both sides with a raised central ridge and grooves radiating from the terminal point. The point has been bent slightly 40.6mm below the terminal point and there is a stress fracture present on the surface to indicate this. An insufficient portion of the spear remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be confidently attributed. Howe…

TREASURE CASE : 2007 T295 The pre-conservation state of the palstaves meant that the clayey soil adhering to the surfaces may have obscured more detailed typological features. However, given their heavily corroded condition this is unlikely. Unfortunately, this does mean that the weights of the objects include the adhering soil. Description of objects 1. Palstave. Light green coloured with heavy corrosion and chipping. It has a damaged butt, worn flanges and potentially the remains of a broken loop. There is no decoration evident.

A cast copper-alloy 'moustache-like' object. This is a three-dimensional casting consisting of two, drop-shaped parts on either side of a central constriction. The constricted area is rectangular and hollow. The drop-shaped parts have elongated narrow tips with abrupt angular terminals, these may be incomplete but appear rounded so could be complete. The metal is pitted and a dark blackish-green colour, with a high sheen. An example in 'The Salisbury Hoard' (Stead 1998) suggests an Iron Age or earlier date. There is another example from Mildenhall (see PAS database No: SF-9183). …

A heavily corroded and fragmentary artefact which could be a small copper-alloy flat axehead in an early Bronze Age style. The axe is possibly a chisel axe used for fine carpentry work, but is could also be votive. The axe remains at a constant width towards the blade edge, the other end appears to have broken off but the breaks are very worn. The edges of the blade are straight. In profile the axe has a thin butt, which thickens slightly towards the main body and then thins again at the blade. The metal is mottled mid greenish-brown in colour and is heavily pitted. There are no signs …

A cast copper alloy object, possibly a spear of Bronze Age date. The object is sub-rectangular in plan and has one rounded end and one straight end which is possible broken.
