Title
socket at the broken edge of the axe blade
Description
English: Axe blade from a Late Bronze Age socketed axe, with a slightly flanged blade tip (49.6 mm wide and 5 mm thick) and tapering sides of the blade as they move towards the broken edge (33.7 mm wide and 11.9 mm thick). Within the broken edge at the top of the blade, there is the remains of a sub-rectangular socket, which is at most about 8 mm in depth and is 22 mm long and 6 mm wide. 
  There are two distinctive gashes, probably from a plough, one on each face of the blade, which cut through the surface patina, exposing the underneath to bronze disease.
Without having the butt end or the upper body of the axe with evidence of a side-loop, the axe cannot be typed or dated to a particular chronological assemblage or phase with the late Bronze Age.
