Description: | Bronze palstave with 'trident' decoration, this palstave is unlooped and the blade end is missing. All surfaces are affected by invasive corrosion resulting in uneven surfaces with traces of a dark brown patina but mainly pale and medium green corrosive products. It is a Rowlands (1976, British Archaeology Report 31) Class 1 Group 3 'developed shield pattern' palstave, though the blade has suggestions of raised side flanges, especially on one face, which are reminiscent of Class 3 ('Birchington Type') palstaves. Both types are contemporary and date mainly from the end of the middle Bronze Age although they can also be found in hoards of late Bronze Age the date range is circa 1300-900 BC. It measures 137mm in incomplete lenght, 42mm in width and 25mm in thickness it is 325g in weight. | 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: | -1500
