Description: | Cast cu-alloy palstave axe in two fragments (LE: 95mm; WI: 27mm; Thickness: 26mm; WE: 195.36g and LE: 50mm; WI: 43mm; Thickness: 13mm WE: 100.68g) belonging to the Taunton metalwork assemblage of the Middle Bronze Age dating from c. 1400-1300BC (or possibly a little later, to the Penard/Wilburton metalwork assemblage dating from c. 1300-1000BC). The two fragments join, but are very worn. The palstave was probably undecorated, but had a small loop on one side, of which only small stumps remain.
