Title |
Early Bronze Age copper flat axe of Type Ballybeg / Roseisle |
||
Description |
English: Early Bronze Age copper flat axe of Type Ballybeg / Roseisle (Schmidt & Burgess, 1981, p 27-8) and of Metalwork Assemblage I to II, corresponding to Needham's (1996) Period 2; dated to 2,300BC - 2,050BC
The axe is complete (with a length of 109.2mm and a weight of 356.1g). The butt is thin or sharp and arched (with a width of 36.9mm and a thickness of 2mm). Both faces are convex, giving the axe a lenticular body profile, with the thickest point (at 12.5mm) on the blade, approximately two-thirds of the way along the axe (around 40mm from the blade edge). There is no median bevel or blade facet on the faces, although the blade narrows sharply to the edge. The faces are flat across their widths, gradually becoming increasing convex towards the blade edge. The sides of the axe are straight and divergent along the upper half of the axe and are concave along the blade, turning out sharply at the ends to produce blade tips (which give the blade a width of 67.0mm). The blade edge is strongly-curved. The surface of the axe has a mid-green surface with areas of dark-brown surface loss. This find represents the twenty-second known copper flat axe from Wales and the second identified as of Ballybeg / Roseisle type. |
