Object type: PENANNULAR RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Bedford
Workflow stage: Published
Description: A Middle Bronze Age gold composite ring consisting of three penannular solid rods of gold possibly soldered together. Each ring has a circular section. Dimensions: 12.79mm in external diameter and 7.89mm in internal diameter, 6.65mm in height and 5.65g in weight. Each gold ring is c2.29mm in thickness. Discussion: This ring is very similar to other examples from elsewhere such as LIN-9F2713,(2011 T580) and SUSS-63B7A6 (2012T165). Similar rings are often found threaded on to gold bracelets, such as those from Granta Fen Cambridgeshire, on twisted torcs, such as those from…

Five objects which are possibly part of a Late Bronze Age hoard. 1: A roughly wedge-shaped copper-alloy fragment of metal working waste with irregular but relatively angular faces. At least two of the edges appear snapped though all faces are heavily patinated dark greenish-brown. Dimensions; 37.8mm x 31mm x 12.5mm and 41g in weight. 2: A fragment of a copper-alloy socket with short stub of a loop surviving. A moulding seam is visible above and below the loop stub. The relatively small oval mouth diameter suggests that this is probably from a socketed chisel or mortising tool though i…

Description: A probable plough-dispersed late Bronze Age hoard found in a c 30m radius over a period of some time. 1: A small complete socketed bronze axe head, pale to medium green in colour. This axe head has double socket mouldings but is otherwise plain. There is a small hole, most likely to be a casting flaw, adjoining the loop. The blade edge has some damage and is relatively worn and rather blunt. There are a few use or sharpening marks visible on both faces and these are mostly affected by minor pocking from invasive corrosion. 81mm in length, 47mm in width and 160g in weight …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Part of a Bronze Age small socketed spearhead. Tip and wings survive, socket end and one face of mid-rib is lost. It is severely abraded and corroded on all edges and most of midribexposing pale green invasive corrosion. Elsewhere surface survives with mid-brown patina. Possible hammer-mark is visible on the corroded midrib just above the break suggesting deliberate breakage and the possibility that it originated from a late Bronze Age 'Founders hoard.' The socket extends to close to the tip suggestung that the copper-alloy is a standard lead-bronze mix. Extremely small plain …

County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small fragment from the tip of a bronze spear head with pronounced slightly rounded central midrib. Beginning of a possible groove beside the midrib visible on one side of one face. Fragment in fair condition, patinated medium-dark brown with some surface soil deposists still in place. Edges slightly damaged/eroded but tip in good condition although slightly rounded, the break is probably ancient. Length 13mm, width at break 11mm, thickness 4mm. It is difficult to determine the type with such a small fragment but possibly a side or basal looped form of middle Bronze Age date, otherwis…

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy probable blade fragment. All edges are incomplete due to wear and old breaks, the cross-section is triangular with one thinner edge and one thicker rounded edge. The fragment is rectangular in shape 35.33mm in length, 18.73mm in width and 3.14mm in thickness. Dark green patina patches of active corrosion. Colin Pendleton has examined this fragment and suspects that it could be from the end of a single edged knife with a slightly curved back of either Late Bronze Age 1(circa 1300-1100 BC) or LBA 3 (c1000-800 BC) date (after O'Connor 1980). Or, its just possible fr…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Blade and part of the body of a bronze socketed axehead of late Bronze Age, Ewart Park Phase c 1000-800BC in date. It is decorated with ribs, four on each face. The body is squashed flat at the break, which is ancient, but there are no obvious hammer marks, although the squashed and broken nature of the axe is a common feature of 'founders hoards' suggesting this may have been part of such a hoard originally. There is some linited loss of surface at the blade edge due to invasive corrosion. Otherwise the surface is patinated a medium green and displays a number of mainly longit…
