Three fragments of copper alloy representing parts of two, or possibly three, spearheads. The remains consist of sections of the blades, consisting of tapering tubes either side of which are flukes, separated from the tubes by well defined grooves. It appears that the spearheads were broken in antiquity which is not uncommon. The cross-sections suggest that these fragments come from basal looped spearheads, a form used during the Middle Bronze Age, around 1500-1100BC. As these objects all belonged to the same type of weapon and were found in the same area it is likely that they were as…

Copper alloy spear head. Cast socketed spearhead with a blade of leaf-shaped form with a prominent tapering mid rib which extends to the tip, and - joining, though found separately - one side of a slightly flared tubular socket. The edges, particularly the cutting edges of the blade, are abraded, with a patinated surface disrupted here and elsewhere. The socket fragment displays a perceptible aris between what may be the two halves of the mould, with the surface to one side of it here appearing flat on the outside. The short broad form may suggest this to be from a peghole fastened spe…

Copper alloy spearhead. Cast looped and socketed spearhead with narrow ogival section blade with a prominent mid rib, paired loops and a gently flared socket whose sides exhibit clear mould lines. The object was found in two pieces with a recent break; the finder reports that despite his assiduous searching the missing tip was not located, though only a spot of corrosion appears at the edge of that small fracture surface. Similar spearheads have been found at Messingham, North Lincolnshire. Suggested date: Middle Bronze Age, 1600-1000 BC. Length: 116mmn Width: 19.4mm, Thickness: blade…

Copper alloy spear head fragment. Cast looped socket of a side looped spear head. The loops are long - circa 20mm - and narrow - circa 3.8mm, and projecting circa 3mm from the wall of the socket, and appear entirely separate from the blade (which is lost). The socket is gently tapered, from 17.6mm diameter at the shaft end to 15.5mm diameter towards the blade. The shaft end appears to exhibit signs of a recent break; at the blade end the break appears more weathered, though should still probably be ascribed to relatively recent times. Suggested date: Middle Bronze Age, 1500-1150 BC. L…

Copper alloy spearhead. Small cast socketed spearhead with a rounded end to its trapezoidal blade, of length 35.2mm and of thin lentoid section, which has blunt cutting edges of length 32mm. The base of the blade has an abrupt inswing, forming a slightly oblique angle with the cutting edges, though its angles are rounded like the tip. The narrow tapering socket appears to have been solid where it meets the blade, and its hollow extent was measured as only 20mm in length from its mouth, albeit without aggressive investigation. The socket, of total length 30mm, tapers from a maximum exte…

A narrow irregular flake with broad flake struck from its dorsal side leaving a rippled surface adjacent to a wide concave notch. A bulb appears at one end of a concave ventral surface, with a flake spalled from it by a probably recent and adventitious impact. The notch is smoothed by angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: 49mm, Width: 22.2mm, Thickness: 9.1mm, Weight: 11.18gms

Grey flint with cortex spot, fabricator. A finger-shaped flake with covering multangular scalar hard hammer retouch across all surfaces, producing a ragged rhomboid or lentoid section. Patches of misty patina may suggest the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment while orange spots may hint at rolling in gravel. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC. Length: 59mm, Width: 24mm, Thickness: 14.1mm, Weight: 18.77gms

Copper alloy axe head fragment. A tiny chip from the end of the cutting edge of a cast axe head, possibly parted from its matrix at the site of a casting flaw. The cutting edge was crescentic with abrupt ends, though too little remains to firmly ascribe this scrap to a particular type. Suggested date: Middle to Late Bronze Age, 1600-800 BC.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy axehead. Solid cast flat axehead, expanded at its crescentic cutting edge, and tapered gently to a flat butt. The upper and lower sides are effectively flat, though rounded at their arises. The object has probably been robustly cleaned by the finder. The form is typologically early, but the yellow tint of metal shows this is not a pure copper casting as might be the case with the earliest axes, but a bronze or other copper alloy. Suggested date: Early to Middle Bronze Age, 2000-1600 BC Length: 50.4mm, Width: 30.0mm, Thickness (at butt): 10.7mm, Weight: 64.85gms

Copper alloy axe head. Cast flat axe head with a flared blade with crescentic cutting edge; the blade is chamfered on both sides to a distance of c.10mm back from this edge, possibly the result of sharpening. Behind the cutting edge the section is uniformly rectangular. The axe exhibits a lentoid profile, thickest at its mid point and diminishing in thickness towards blade and butt. The cutting edge is corroded and chipped on one side only; the butt is also chipped, though without this damage extending away from it on either side. The object is broken in two pieces at its thickest poin…

Copper alloy axe head fragment. Hollow cast tip from the blade of a copper alloy axe with a curved cutting edge and flat surfaces along its upper and lower edges; the latter appearing triangular as the sides narrow towards the blade. There is a hollow behind the cutting edge. Abraded. From what remains, this might be from a palstave axe of the Middle Bronze Age (1600-1000 BC) or a socketed axe of the Late Bronze Age (1000-800BC). The latter are more common and so perhaps the later date would be the more likely. Suggested date: Bronze Age, 1800-800 BC Length: 19.8mm, Height: 32.6mm, Th…

Dark grey flint scraper. A thumbnail scraper, as kindly identified by the finder, with covering angled scalar retouch across the dorsal side and with a bulb at one end of the ventral surface. Light scalar retouch at the bulb was executed from the ventral aspect, next to a striking platform at that edge. The flint retains its dark colour, perhaps hinting at the recent exposure of this object from a sealed context.
