Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy palstave fragment of Middle Bronze Age date. The fragment is approximately triangular in profile and oval shaped in section. The blade end survives intact but has corroded surfaces with some encrustation and a dark brown to green patina. The sides of the palstave taper inwards from the ends of the blade, before terminating in an old break. The fragment measures 36.25mm in width at the blade end, 33.55mm in length, 12.33mm in thickness, and weighs 42.53g. This fragment is probably from a palstave, although it could potentially be from the tip of a socketed axe head or a small chisel. It is of Middle Bronze Age date, thus c.1500-1200 BC. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
