Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy leaf-shaped blade (length 63mm, width 19mm, thickness 2mm, weight 7.9g). The edges are slightly bevelled and the blade has a very slight but relatively wide midrib. One end of the blade apparently tapers into a tang which is now largely missing. The blade is in poor condition, its tip is bent and its edges are badly damaged and notched. This damage makes it difficult to evaluate whether the apparent tang is a genuine feature or simply a fortuitous break. The blade may possibly be an example of a rare type of Early to Middle Bronze Age knife known as a Class I or …

Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Caerphilly
Workflow stage: Published
Copper alloy low-flanged axe. This bronze Early Bronze Age flanged axe has a long slender body with near parallel sides, which suddenly expand widely, to produce a crescentic shaped blade and asymmetric cutting edge. The butt end of the axe has been slightly damaged in antiquity and therefore the original shape is not apparent. Part way down the body of the axe is a median bevel, whilst the sides of the axe are rounded. Surface pitting on these sides precludes the possibility of knowing whether or not they were once decorated. Both faces of the axe were once decorated, although mos…

Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: the Vale of Glamorgan
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This bronze casting jet represents the by-product of the manufacture of a socketed axe. The jet is of a roughly circular form and displays all four runners. The four runners together with its geographic location strongly hint at the jet being removed from an axe of type Storgursey or 'South Wales Type'. The patina on the casting jet varies from a brown to light green and the jet now displays a sheen due to polish or lacquer applied by the finder. The external diameter of the jet is 39.2mm - 45.3mm, with an internal diameter of 16.4mm - 19.3mm. The jet has a maximum thickness of 15…

Early Bronze Age, Bronze cast-flanged axe whose sides are straight and near parallel, curving outwards markedly near the blade, giving a splayed blade. The artefact has a flat shaped butt end, which tapers in section. Unusually, the butt end of the axe is pierced by a circular hole (6mm in diameter). This was made with care in antiquity, possibly by drilling into the metal with a circular implement from each side of the artefact, the hole breaking through the middle (as suggested by its slightly hourglass shaped profile). The hole is slightly offset from the centre of the butt, and…

The blade has a width of 59.04mm and has a shallow blade edge…
