Description: | Cast copper-alloy fragment, probably from a late bronze age socketed tool such as an axe. Mass: 26.0g, length: 41.6mm, blade width: 29.3mm. The fragment has an oval sectioned socket, a tapering profile, and a concave cutting edge with flared tips. The fragment is broken across the socket. The break is not recent. The object is a fragment, and many of the diagnostic features are missing or incomplete, complicating classification and dating. However, the form of the fragment suggests that it is from a socketed tool such as an axe from the Late Bronze Age (1150BC to 800BC).
