Description: | In 1984 a Founders Hoard of late Bronze Age metal work was unearthed. The Hoard consisted of eight objects. Two of the objects join together to form what could be part of a bronze bowl or caldron; however the piece could simply be a fragment of metal working debris. The Hoard consists of the following:1) A fragment of a socketed axe SUSS-8F4D33 (found within the metal detectorists collection - it was not kept with the rest of the hoard, but is likely to be from the same find site, the detectorist is deceased).2) Two fragments of a bronze bowl or caldron or possibly metal working debris SUSS-8F48833) A small socketed chisel blade SUSS-8F40804) Metal working debris SUSS-8F14C25) A socketed axe SUSS-8F07346) A socketed axe SUSS-8F00C67) A small gouge SUSS-8EC013Two small fragments of a late Bronze Age object, possibly metal working debris but also possibly a fragment of a cauldron/ vessel. The two fragments are adjoining and were both found within a hoard context, therefore dating them to 1150 - 800 BC. The surfaces of the fragments are worn and heavily corroded and it is flaking; but some of the original surface does survive. These objects were conserved with the rest of the hoard. The profile of the object is curved, suggesting that they could have come from a cauldron or bowl. The metal is a dark green colour.
