Description: | Middle Bronze Age (1500-1150BC) fragment. Only the blade end and part of the body survives. The fragment is sub-rectangular in plan, increasing in width towards the blade end. It is triangular in profile. The surface is worn and damaged, particularly at the blade end. The fragment is probably from a flanged axe of a palstave, as there is no evidence of it being socketed. It is 20.81mm wide 12.01mm thick at the break, 30.51mm wide at the blade end. It is 42.17mm long and weighs 61.43 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
