Title
Bronze Age gouge
Description
English: An incomplete socketed gouge dating to the Late Bronze Age, c. 1000-800 BC.

It is sub-rectangular in plan, and tapers in width and thickness from its socket to a rounded cutting/gouging edge which is concave on one of its surfaces. It is broken at the socket end, and any possible collar is now missing. The edge of the break is uneven and slightly frayed. What survives of the socket appears circular in shape.

Pearce (1983: 43) considers that socketed gouges 'appear to have begun in the Wilburton phase, and continued as part of the tool repertoire until the end of the Bronze Age', although she suggests that most socketed gouges can be dated to the Ewart phase between c. 1000 - c. 800 BC. Needham et al's (1997) recent study of Bronze Age chronology dated a collared socketed gouge from the Bodwrog Hoard, Anglesey to 2720 +- 45 BP (DoB No 3, OxA-4652, p68).

Comparable socketed gouges have been recorded on the PAS database. For examples see: YORYM-316F81, YORYM-CD7FFB, SWYOR-FCB525, NMGW-62C84F, DUR-06F0E8, IOW-EC25A7 and SUR-7898C5.
