Object type: BLADE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A poorly preserved fragment of a weapon blade, possibly a dagger/knife, rapier or dirk probably dating to the Middle Bronze Age (1600-1000 BC). The object has a wide triangular cross section with a raised central midrib while the underside has a slightly curved profile. The object narrows in width and thickness towards the tip of the blade. The object appears to be damaged as it displays two irregular notches, and may have been miscast. The tip and the hilt of the object is missing, making identification difficult.

Object type: CHISEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A cast bronze socketed chisel or gouge, dating to the Late Bronze Age (c. 1000-800BC). The chisel has a hollow body which has been cast in two pieces, with the cast lines still visible down either edge. The chisel has a thin flanged blade and a sub-circular socket that extends only 7.74mm down into the body - suggesting that this object has been reworked from a longer gouge. The chisel is in very good condition and has a nice even olive green patina. The chisel is 51.74mm long with the blade measuring 21.92mm wide. The socket is 15.42mm in diameter and the object weighs 17.8gms.

A middle Bronze Age copper alloy palstave axehead (1500-1150BC). The axehead has a straight butt (width: 21.77mm) and slightly irregular flanges. At the end of the flanges is the stop and it is at this point that the blade starts. There is a single side-loop aligned adjacent to the stop. Both faces of the blade have two incised triangular gauges that start at the stop and taper towards the cutting edge (length of gauge: 20.80mm).
