Title |
Bronze Age copper-alloy palstave |
||
Description |
English: A nearly complete copper-alloy unlooped palstave or 'flanged axe' dating to the middle Bronze Age.
The butt is incomplete and now marked by a roughly angular line. The break bears the same patination as the rest of the axe suggesting that it was broken in antiquity. One corner of the butt is visible; the other is missing. The halft-end has two pronounced flanges on either side. The crest of the flange is straight rather than inward curving as sometimes seen on other axes. The septum is smooth and seemingly unworn. At the end of the septum is a moulded stop-ridge set transversely across the body. The ridge is concave in profile. Beyond the ridge is a half-rounded ('shield-shaped') concave panel containing three moulded ribs. These ribs are set horizontally. On either edge of the axe half-way down the line of the panel is a moulded nick or knop. The blade is flared and the surface is smooth. The blade tips are well-developed and intact. The edge bevel is wide and the cutting edge is suprisingly sharp. Shield-like decoration on the blade just below the stop is a characteristic of Group II palstaves (Schmidt and Burgess, 1981, The Axes of Scotland and Northern England, p.117). Group I and II palstaves were the primary forms introduced to Britain in the Middle Bronze Age (ibid.p.119). This axe can be assigned to the Acton Park or early Taunton phase, circa 1450-1300 BC. |
