Description: | Copper-alloy tanged and lugged tool, blade broken but probably chisel-ended. The tang is 4 mm wide and tapers from 4 mm thick at the junction with the blade, to a point at the other end. The blade starts 14 mm wide but quickly narrows with curving edges to 6 mm wide before flaring slightly to 8 mm wide at the (old) break. Deep brown patina. Surviving length 87 mm, weight 12.6g. Lugged chisels/tracers of related forms are found in chronologically widely separated contexts, from the Arreton tradition of the late Early Bronze Age to the Ewart Park phase of the Late Bronze Age. Compare examples from Freckenham, Lakenheath and West Row (Pendleton 1999, 144). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -2500
