Copper alloy socketed axe-head. Cast copper alloy axe-head with a crescentic cutting edge, a plain body with slightly concave upper and lower sides and a sub-rectangular socket measuring 32.7mm in height and 28.4mm in width [externally]. A single loop of length 23.5mm is set on one side on the mould line at a distance of 9.5mm from the socket. Six triangular-section fragments of pale buff and desiccated wood were presented along with the object together with smaller splinters and dust, with slight evidence of green staining, and are regarded by the finder as relict fragments of a woode…

Copper alloy socketed axe fragment. Cast corner from the mouth of a socketed axe-head, with a rounded rib passing round the outside of the mouth of the socket; fiercely abraded. What remains indicates a squarish socket in excess of 11.5mm by 21mm. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age, 1000-800 BC Length (along axehead): 20.5mm, Height: 28.8mm, Thickness: 5.4mm, Weight: 18.34gms

Copper alloy probable socketed axe-head fragment. The edge of a crescentic cutting edge from a copper alloy axe-head, most likely of socketed form – the latest type. Diagonal striations on one side of the blade may arise from its sharpening, suggesting this may have broken away - perhaps on a casting flaw - from an axe that was in use. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age, 1000-800 Length/Height: 31.5mm, Width/Length along axe: 9.2mm, Thickness: 6mm, Weight: 4.94gms

Copper alloy possible sword fragment. Cast straight-sided trapezoid object of lentoid or flattened lozenge section, here taken to be the tip of a sword, dagger or rapier, broken at either end.

An incomplete cast copper alloy side looped spearhead fragment. A small cast and slightly tapered socket with opposed loops of length 11mm near its upper narrower end, both now worn or broken to paired stubs. The socket mouth [chipped] is of estimated diameter 15.4mm and the diameter at the broken upper end is 10.7mm. Davis 2012 dates these forms to c. 1500-1000 cal BC.

Copper alloy possible dirk fragment, as kindly suggested by Ed Caswell, who comments: ' I wonder wether this is not closer to a rapier/dirk fragment due to the lozenge shaped cross section and quite straight sides?...'.. Cast lentoid-to-lozenge-shaped-section fragment from a very slightly tapered blade; this might as easily be from a robust dagger as a spearhead [which was the finder's initial suggestion]. Fiercely abraded. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age, 1000-800 BC Length: 29.3mm, Width: 14.6mm, Thickness: 5.3mm, Weight: 10.04gms

Copper alloy socketed axe head. Cast looped and socketed axe head, with an almost circular expanded [to thickness 4.5mm] or rimmed mouth to its socket and a narrower and more gracile form overall than is usual in the Humber region – the so-called Yorkshire socketed axe. A flat facet runs along the centre of each side, flanked by a single subsidiary facet between the side and the upper and lower faces, which are also flattened. The aris between each pair of adjoining facets is smoothed or rounded. The loop is set 12.8mm from the socket, on a perceptible longitudinal mould line, an…

Copper alloy socketed axe. Cast with linear patterns and hollow socket, single loop. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age, 1000-800BC Length: 82.9mm, Width: 48.1mm, Thickness: 6mm This socketed axehead, having three widely spaced fine ribs running roughly half the axe’s length below a prominent collar fits the main characteristics of Yorkshire type axeheads as described by Schmidt and Burgess (1981: 223) first defined by Fox (1933L 158: 1959, 71). Similarly this is a relatively short, squat form which also separates these from other ridged varieties (see examples illustrated by…

Copper alloy axe fragment. A fragment of the blade of a small cast flat axe with an expanded crescentic cutting edge and of a rectangular section behind it. The object appears to have been cut at an angle, leaving the form of the axe whence it originated uncertain; a palstave or flat axe form appears most likely, as there is no trace of the hollowing to be expected of a socketed axehead. The cutting edge is bent, and there is similar distortion and on the same side where the putative cut was made across the body of the axe. The fragment might have been reused as a wedge with some damag…
