Title
Bronze Age axe (plan).
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy axe. The blade portion of the axe remains with the broken edge traversing the axe. The blade cutting edge is asymmetrical, rounded and blunt, and is slightly convex in plan. The blade has slightly flared sides. In section, from the break to the blade the section is an elongated triangle. The break is not recent as the patina on the break matches that on the surface of the axe. The surface of the axe is abraded, but has patches of a well developed dark green/brown patina. The axe weighs 8.01g. From the cutting edge to the broken edge it measures 34.66mm; across the blade, from tip to tip, it measures 61.56mm wide; across the break it is 10.22mm thick. The whether the axe was originally a socketed axe or flat axe is not know for certain, but dates to the early Bronze Age if it is a flat axe, or later Bronze Age if it is socketed; 2,000 – 700 BC.
