Complete 'Arreton' tradition low-flanged copper-alloy axehead. The body of the axehead is narrow, but then curves out to form a broad crescentic blade. Both faces have two visible transverse bevel lines, one at the junction of the blade and body, and one very slight line centrally across the body between the flanges. The sides also have slight facets running longitudinally and dividing the flat central area from bevels which run to the top of the flanges. The axehead is patinated a mid and dark green/brown, with pale green pocks of invasive corrosion which is relatively severe on t…

Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
Complete low flanged axe made of copper alloy. Flanges are relatively slight, 2 mm high at most, and possibly formed by hammering. Only a small part of the original surface survives, which is decorated with a punched chevron design. Slightly trapezoidal body with flaring flade. Not trace of a clear stop-bevel. Symmetrical lenticular long-section. One end of the blade is worn (or possibly corroded) away. The surface is still partially encrusted with soil, but where visible the original surface appears dark brown. Where the original surface is lost, the axe is a pale/medium brown…
