Title
Bronze Age : Axe
Description
English: A heavily corroded and fragmentary artefact which could be a small copper-alloy flat axehead in an early Bronze Age style. The axe is possibly a chisel axe used for fine carpentry work, but is could also be votive. The axe remains at a constant width towards the blade edge, the other end appears to have broken off but the breaks are very worn. The edges of the blade are straight. In profile the axe has a thin butt, which thickens slightly towards the main body and then thins again at the blade. The metal is mottled mid greenish-brown in colour and is heavily pitted. There are no signs of re-working. This axe dates to the Bronze Age period circa 2150-1500 BC. Three other similar examples have been found in North Yorkshire see PAS database entries: YORYM-EA1A07, YORYM-3636F8, YORYM-F58364 for similar parallels.
