Title
Bronze age developed flat axe
Description
English: A cast copper-alloy developed flat axehead of Middle Bronze Age date (c.2000 BC -c.1700 BC ) which corresponds to Needham's (1996) Period 3.

The blade end is crescentic in form, flaring to either side of the axe, the cutting edge is damaged in places but otherwise is in good condition. It has a flat, rectangular body that gradually tapers towards the butt end. Half way along the axe on either side is a shallow stop-ridge that seem to be early forms of the more prominant versions seen on palstaves.

The axe has a brownish patina; the surface is smooth and in good condition.

The axe is probably an Aylesford type developed flat axe, dating from 2150-1500 BC. Similar examples can be seen in Moore and Rowlands, plate VI. See also YORYM-0D0388 on this database.
