Title |
Bronze Age ingot fragments |
||
Description |
English: Three fragments of copper-alloy ingots. 1. A fragment of a copper-alloy ingot with four planes. Two of these are convex and show evidence of manufacture while the other two contain fluid shaped dips and lumps. All sides have small areas of dark brown shiny skin which are scattered over the generally matte green/brown metal. The deliberately made curve on one side of this fragment suggests it was part of the outer section of Bronze Age circular ingot 'cake'. Max length: 66mm; max width: 40mm; weight: 212.2g 2. A fragment of copper-alloy ingot with six matte green/brown sides. Five of these contain dips and lumps while the sixth and largest plane is smooth. This appears to have been deliberately smoothed and shaped into a convex curved surface which may have been part of the outside of a Bronze Age ingot 'cake'. Max length: 53mm; max width: 24mm; weight: 124.5g 3. A fragment of copper-alloy ingot with five sides. Three of these contain dips and lumps while two appear to have been deliberately smoothed and shaped. These surfaces are mainly matte red/brown and green with a few areas of shiny darker skin visible. Max length: 32mm; max depth: 28mm; weight: 145g All three of these copper-alloy fragments have one or two surfaces which appear to have been deliberately smoothed and shaped. Their size, weight, colour and form is consistent with them having formed part of a Bronze Age plano-convex ingot or 'cake' with an approximate diameter measurement of 150mm if the curve of the fragments is followed. Fragment 3 (above) has a depth of 28mm and it is possible the two opposing worked surfaces of this piece indicate the thickness of the original ingot. The three separate find locations of these fragments suggests they were scattered by ploughing. The fragments qualify as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure (Designation) Order 2002. |
