Description: | Incomplete Bronze Age socketed axe head. The blade, face and single side-loop are complete but the socket mouth with moulding is missing and the break edges are worn. The blade and face are rectangular in plan and flare outwards towards the blade tips, and the mouth appears to be circular in section. No decoration was visible. It measures 100mm long, 36-40mm wide and is 15-26mm thick. A catalogue of socketed axes can be found in Schmidt, P. and Burgess, C. 1981. The Axes of Scotland and Northern Ireland, p172-250. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
