Description: | Eleven bronze celts of various forms, part of a collection discovered in the river Witham near Lincoln. The collection belonged to Mr E. J. Willson. Some specimens from this collection were kindly donated to the [Archaeological] Institute by Mr Willson at the close of the meeting in Lincoln in 1848. The finds date to the late Bronze Age. {1}
Eleven celts from the river Witham near Lincoln. {2}{3}
Nine socketed axes from Lincolnshire in the collection of the Duke of Northumberland at Anwick Castle, with some other Bronze Age objects. All the objects have the same black patination and it has been suggested that the objects were found together. {4}
Willson's collection passed to the Duke of Northumberland {5} and so these 9 socketed axes may be the majority of those shown at Lincoln in 1848. | Temporal: | 1000BC - 801BC | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
