Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy axehead of the mid-late Bronze Age. The axe is experiencing active corrosion and has a mid greenish-brown, pitted patina. This axehead was found as a single, isolated find. This piece was probably made circa 1500-1150 BC. The artefact is sub-rectangular in plan, the width expanding slightly towards the end of the blade, but tapers towards the butt end. The blade tips measure 30.9mm, while the butt end measures 21.1mm. The blade is flat and rather featureless, but two large flanges overhang each face, these are curved and very prominent. The axhead has no central st…

Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An early-mid Bronze Age flat axehead. The axe was found as a single find. The axe is cast in copper alloy; the original surface survives in a good condition and is only slightly pitted. The axe has a thin and rounded butt, measuring 20.8mm wide and the terminal measures only 2.3mm thick. The butt measures approximately 48.1mm in length, it is very flat in comparison to other examples. There is a slightly raised area in the centre of the axe, which appears to be an early form on the central block, seen on the later palstaves. The thickness of this central area measures 12.7mm. The sides…

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a cast copper alloy spearhead probably dating from the later Middle Bronze Age, about 1400 – 1125 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 raised, forming a lozenge section and it is solid. There are two ridges either side of the midrib, parallel to it, but tapering to the point. Whilst little remains of the spearhead, the slimness of the blade and the ancillary ridges suggest that it might belong to the basal looped categ…

A badly worn, damaged and corrodedearly Bronze Age flat axehead. The axe was found as a single find. The axe is cast in copper alloy, but the original surface no longer survives and is heavily pitted. The butt end of the axe has broken off, resulting in an irregular break. The broken central block measures 12.1mm x 38.1mm. The sides of theaxe are rounded and it is not possible to see the flanged crest. The main body of the axe tapers into the blade proper. The lower blade is asymetical and badly damaged. The blade tips are also damaged and well worn. There is no decoration visibleon th…

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, but a hollow central section can been seen where the break occurred. This could suggest that it was just the tip that was solid. The blade edges are eroded, and the whole artefact is worn, with a pitted surface, which is light greyish-green. An…

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). …

The pottery is undecorated. It has chalk tempering, which has largely leached out, therefore resulting in the production of lots of holes in the matrix of the clay. The pottery is a coarse ware, which has been lightly fired in a clamp fire, rather than a kiln.

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.

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.

A cast copper alloy annular bead. It measures 22.2mm in diameter x 8.6mm x 4.5mm and weighs 10.6g. The bead has a dark greyish-green patina. Much of the original surface has been lost. It is decorated with an incised line close to the edge of the bead, on both the upper and lower surfaces. The object possibly dates to the Bronze Age, circa 2150-800BC. But a more modern date (maybe medieval can not be ruled out).
