Description: | A fragment of a socketed copper-alloy implement of late Bronze Age date. The object is possibly part of an axe but, given its size and form, is more likely to be from a gouge or spearhead. The fragment comes from the socket end. This socket is circular and measures 25.5mm in diameter. On the outer surface of the object there are indented lines which extend from the socket into the main body of the object. These are quite faint and are more likely to be a result of the casting than a deliberately included stylistic element. The piece measures 26.5mm high and 3.5mm thick. It weighs 14.61g. There were no associated objects of a similar date. The edges are abraided suggesting that the break occurred in antiquity. | 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: | -1150
