Title
fragment of short-flanged axe
Description
English: Cast copper alloy fragment of a Middle Bronze Age axe, with flanged edges but no evidence of a stop-ridge. The axe is missing its blade and is corroded and starting to break up into layers, so that very little of the original detail remains. One of the flange tops seems to have folded in towards the face of the axe, but it is hard to make out whether this is through corrosion. The butt end is narrow, in 17.7 mm width and 13.9 mm in thickness, and the axe does not widen out much below the flanges, where it is 26 mm wide and 6.2 mm thick. In its present state, it resembles part of a ‘short-flanged’ axe depicted in Needham & Rohl (1998) Chapter 6, p.130, Fig.31, No.165, which is dated to the Taunton phase of metalwork c.1400-1300 BC.
Pearce (1983) illustrates a local parallel on page 413, Plate 9, No.78 from Ladock, but it is not dated.
