Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Blade fragment of a Bronze Age axe, c.2300 BC- 800 BC. The blade edge is curved, and appears complete. It has broken before the shaft, having a rectangular cross-section at the broken edge where it is thickening. The axe has a dark brown patina which is slightly patchy due to corrosion. As so little remains it is not possible to pin it down to a certain type of axe, or a more specific period within the Bronze Age.

Broad period: ROMAN

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast lead possible Roman weight. It is cylindrical, with a central iron core, which would have become a loop, but has now broken. Roman steelyward weights are usually biconical, not cylindrical but this example does have the iron core like the Roman ones, so it is possible it is Roman rather than Post Medieval.
