Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible blade fragment from a Bronze Age flat axe. The blade has a very worn abraded crescentric cutting edge. The sides are slightly concave. The surfaces of the blade have a brown-red patina. The blade is consistently 1mm thick at all points over the surface, which would make it less likely to be from an axe since one would expect it to thicken toward the middle.

Bronze age copper alloy axe, 40mm long 30-35mm wide and 4-12mm thick. The object represents the tip of the axe, which widens from 30mm to 35mm at the blade. It weighs 65 grams and has a brownish/green patina. It tapers in thickness from 17mm at the broken end to 3mm at the tip. This is probably part of a mid bronze age straight sided, intrusive? axe.

County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy fragment, 34mm long, 8mm wide and 4mm thick. The object has a bright green patina and weighs 5.50 grams. The object is rectangular in form and triangular in section. The narrow edge is slightly rounded and 1mm thick. The widest edge, 4mm thick, has broken and clearly shows two layers of metal with a small void in between(One side has a small triangular protrusion overlapping the break). This would suggest a blade tip perhaps off a small axe or a chisel?

Possible copper alloy axe or chisel. The object has a pointed oval socket with a slightly expanded lip. The socket has concave sides which flare outwards gradually towards the convex cutting edge. The concave sides have a slight lip to them which disappears once they meet the straight edge. The hollow socket tapers as it goes towards the cutting edge, being solid approximately 17mm before the edge. The cutting edge is very worn and blunt. No decoration is visible. The surface displays localised evidence of active bronze disease, mixed between light brownish deposits of an uncert…

Object type: AXE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy socketed axe fragment, found as a single find. The fragment consists of the incomplete blade and part of the faces of the axe; therefore the body and mouth do not survive. The surface of the metal is worn and corroded; therefore no casting flashes are visible. The blade expands at the cutting edge, but the socket does not extend into the blade tips.
The cutting edge is corroded; therefore the original surface has been lost. The outer surfaces have a dark brownish-green patina. The breaks are well worn. Socketed axes date to the Late Bronze Age.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published
Bronze axe of Arreton Down type. Expanded cutting edge, now asymmetrical; there are indications of small raised flanges down each side of the blade. It is likely that these were raised by hammering and not cast. The blade tapers, from its mid-point, towards both the cutting edge and butt. Most of the surface has been lost to corrosion but enough survives to show that the faces of the axe were not decorated. c. 1800 - 1400 BC.

A heavily corroded and fragmentary artefact which could be a small copper-alloy flat axehead in an early Bronze Age style. The axe is possibly a chisel axe used for fine carpentry work, but is could also be votive. The axe remains at a constant width towards the blade edge, the other end appears to have broken off but the breaks are very worn. The edges of the blade are straight. In profile the axe has a thin butt, which thickens slightly towards the main body and then thins again at the blade. The metal is mottled mid greenish-brown in colour and is heavily pitted. There are no signs …

Probable Bronze Age fragment, possibly from an axe The bronze object is fragmented and with all edges rounded, possibly through water-rolling (with a length of 15.9mm, a width of 34.8mm, a thickness of 7.8mm and a weight 16.8g). The condition of the object makes any identification speculative. The fragment is of sub-triangular section, resembling the blade of an axe. The sides are not present and the faces are flat. The blade edge has been lost and there no surviving evidence for a socket base. The fragment has a dark green surface patina. The general shape of the bronze may suggest a…
