Title
Bronze Age Flat Axehead
Description
English: A small, narrow-butted copper-alloy flat axe from the Early Bronze Age, possibly of the Migdale tradition. The rounded cutting edge (37mm wide) shows signs of having been slightly flared, though one side is partly missing. The body of the axe has a bevel, approximately 55mm from the cutting edge, but this is not very pronounced. The axe tapers back to a thin, semi-circular butt (19mm wide). The axe is heavily corroded with no sign of decoration.
