Description: | Copper alloy Early Bronze Age flat Axehead (possibly of the Migdale-Marnoch tradition?) and dating to between 2150-1500 BC. The axehead has a thin narrow rounded butt. The body is thickened at the middle and thins again to a splayed blade and cutting edge. The axehead weights 217g and measures 99.6mm in length from butt to cutting edge. At the thickest point across the body of the axehead, it measures 11.1mm and the measurement across the blade is 58.7mm. The surface of the axehead is very corroded and pitted, only small patches of the original surface survive. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
