Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy casting jet with two sprues which is left over waste from casting a Late Bronze Age socketed tool. Casting jets are the excess reservoirs of metal created in the cavity at the top of the mould during the casting process. The survival of such casting waste is relatively rare in hoards dating to earlier phases of the Bronze Age, but the inclusion of casting jet and other metal casting waste in hoards becomes more common during the Late Bronze Age (cf. Bradley 2013, 128-9). These finds are most common as associations within hoards dating from the Ewart Park phase (c.950…

Object type: INGOT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete cast copper alloy ingot which would have originally been circular in plan and plano-convex in profile, but this ingot is triangular in plan, trapezoidal in profile, and rectangular in section, as it comes from one edge of the original ingot. Plano-convex ingots like this one were used during the Late Bronze Age, c.1000-700 BC. The surface of the ingot is pitted where air bubbles formed during the casting process and the exposed sides of the fragment have worn cavities typically seen in these bun ingots. There are dark green and coppery brown areas and a few lighter green pa…
