Title
Bronze Age : Axe
Description
English: A complete, early Bronze Age flat axehead dating from 2150 – 1500 BC. The axe survives in poor condition and is cast in copper alloy, which is heavily pitted on one side. The axe has a mid greenish-brown patina. The butt of the axe is thin, measuring 24.2mm wide and 2.9mm thick. The sides of the butt end are rounded. Low flanges run from the butt ends, tapering off to the blade tips. The main body of the axe tapers into the blade proper. The lower blade is badly corroded and so much of the cutting edge has been lost or damaged. The blade tips are also damaged. The width of the tips measures 61.7mm. There is no decoration on the axe. Similar axeheads can be seen in Moore and Rowlands (1972), plate VI, no.3.
