Title |
Bronze Age axehead |
||
Description |
English: A late Bronze Age copper alloy socketed axe head (1000 – 800BC). The socket is sub-circular, a square with very rounded corners, (27.87mm x 26.51mm). The edge of the socket is decorated with a pronounced rim and a parallel raised transverse band just below. Both these moulded bands have a semi-circular cross-section. The axe head has a side loop (approximately 16.85mm long and 8.40mm wide) that abuts the lower moulded band. The axe head is wedge-shaped in plan and is 93.65mm long. The sides of the axe head flare out gently towards the blade tip, expanding from 20.46mm to 36.22mm. The faces are smooth and undecorated except for the faceted face edges that follow the line of the axe head and narrow towards the blade tip. A casting seam is visible along both edges. The axehead has a curved cutting edge 36.22mm wide, which shows some edge damage. The blade is hollow. Dark green patina.
This socketed axe head is similar to others found in the Ewert Park assemblage and dated 1000-800BC (Rohl & Needham 1998: 136-7). Dimensions: length: 93.82mm; width: 36.22mm; thickness: 26.15mm; weight: 126.16g. Reference: Rohl, B. and Needham, S. 1998.
