Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy axe of mid to late Bronze Age date. The object consists of the lower part of the blade only and it is impossible to determine whether it is from a palstave or socketed axe. A casting mark, plus the fact that the piece is hollow, indicate that the axe was made in a two-piece mould. It measures 38.8mm wide at the cracked cutting edge and tapers to 28.3mm wide at the point where is is broken off. The maximum thickness is 18.8mm and the surviving height is 62.5mm. It weighs 168.06g. | Subjects: | Palstave/Socketed | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
