Description: | A Late Bronze Age copper plano-convex ingot edge fragment. This fragment of ingot is subtriangular in plan, with one slightly curved edge, and is plano-convex in section. When complete the ingot would have been ?bun-shaped?, having a domed upper surface and a flat lower surface. The ingot now measures 77.44mm long, 71.18mm wide, 29.04mm thick and weighs in excess of 235g. The surface of the ingot is abraded and pitted. Original surface survives in patches of dark green, but exposed surfaces are also mid and light green. Copper ingot fragments are common in hoards of the Ewart Park phase of the late Bronze Age c.1000-800 BC. | 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: | -1000
