Title
blade fragment (section)
Description
English: Cast copper alloy fragment of a flanged blade from a socketed axe, semi-circular in plan, triangular in profile and lozenge-shaped in section. The blade edge is worn and incomplete so that it is only flanged on one side. The broken edge reveals an oblong aperture which is the end of the socket for the haft or handle of the axe. The original surface has mostly corroded away and there are patches of light green bronze disease. There is not enough detail to precisely date this fragment within the Late Bronze Age, but some comparanda are offered below.

Pearce (1983) illustrates a similar broken blade fragment from Blandford, Dorset on page 607, Plate 46, No.348d, which is associated with rib and pellet socketed axes of the Ewart Park period c.900-800 BC.

Needham and Rohl (1998) illustrate a similar flanged blade on a 'South-eastern type' socketed axe on page 136, Fig.38, No.334, which is dated from the Ewart Park phase also.
