Description: | A cast bronze socketed chisel or gouge, dating to the Late Bronze Age (c. 1000-800BC). The chisel has a hollow body which has been cast in two pieces, with the cast lines still visible down either edge. The chisel has a thin flanged blade and a sub-circular socket that extends only 7.74mm down into the body - suggesting that this object has been reworked from a longer gouge. The chisel is in very good condition and has a nice even olive green patina.The chisel is 51.74mm long with the blade measuring 21.92mm wide. The socket is 15.42mm in diameter and the object weighs 17.8gms.
