Title
Bronze Age flanged axe
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy Bronze Age axehead. It would have originally tapered off to a thinner butt. The blade is significantly flared, however the shape of the side flanges cannot be determined due to the break. It measures 68.59mm x 58.76mm x 13.65mm, weighing 174.91g. The axe seems to fall into class IV of Needham’s chronology. It may possibly belong to the Arreton group; dating from circa 1700-1500BC (S. Needham, 2004, unpublished), though with only the blade to work from it is difficult to assign a confident date. The surface of the axe is green, pitted and corroded, with a glossy patina surviving in a few places. The break is also patinated.
