Description: | A bronze fragment from the blade end of a small socketed axehead or chisel. There is some surface survival but much is lost due to corrosion and erosion. All the edges are eroded and relatively rounded. It is patinated dark green, including the breaks, which suggests that the breaks are ancient. The commplete width of the cutting edge survives and the socket extends to 9mm from blade edge. It measures 18mm in length and 36mm in width. This probable axe is late Bronze Age in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
