Title |
Bronze Age Axehead |
||
Description |
English: A severely corroded fragment of a cast copper alloy axehead of Bronze Age date (2150 BC - 800 BC). Length 46.8mm, width 37.2mm and 5.7mm thick. Weight 28.22g.
The fragment consists of the lower part of the blade and has a semi-circular cutting edge as viewed in plan. The transverse break is old and abraded. One face has a gouged area which appears to have been created by a large impact, possibly by the plough. The object is pitted due to corrosion and is suffering from bronze disease. It also has a patchy corroded brown patina. Due to its fragmentary condition and severe coerrosion, it is not possible to determine the classification of the axehaed. |
