Description: | Fragment of copper-alloy Late Bronze Age axe. This fragment represents the blade from a socketed axe and is subrectangular in plan, and subtriangular in section. The internal portion of the socket slot is rectangular. The fragment is 30.48mm long, 31.30mm wide, 4.72mm and weighs 29.08g.The blade edge is intact but heavily worn and abraded. The surface of the axe is missing and the body is heavily pitted and abraded. The overall patina of the object is brown with patches of light green. The broken edge is of a similar colour, uneven and abraded implying the break probably occurred in antiquity. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
