Title
Bronze Age: Palstave axe
Description
English: An unlooped palstave axe. The axe is complete, except for the tip of the butt, and in good condition although the surfaces are now very rough. The length of the axe is 143.16mm and the width of the blade is 61.56mm. The thickness is 28.97mm and the axe weighs 359g. The axe has a central raised rib and raised sides. The septum measures c7.5mm above the stop ridge. There is a casting void behind the stop ridges.

Peter Reavill comments:

This is anearly mid rib palstave - the raised sides are prominent and a little odd - but generally OK. The look of this axe is slightly strange though with the prominent stop ridge that extends out in profile and the apparent casting flaws either side of the mid rib. This comes from the end of the sequence of unlooped palstaves - most probably type Liswerry or possibly Southall (plate 57 Schmidt and Burgess)
