Title
Blade End
Description
English: This is a blade end fragment of an indeterminate Middle or Late Bronze Age axe. The broken section has eroded, making it difficult to determine if the axe has fractured at the bottom of the socket of a socketed axe of Late Bronze Age type, or through a solid palstave of the Middle to Late Bronze age. The axe fragment has the remnants of a single rib running down one of the faces. The other face is irregular with large pitting, which may have been a feature of the axe, rather than a corrosion effect. The blade edge has been lost through corrosion but was originally expanded. The axe would have been of slender form, perhaps suggesting a ribbed palstave rather than a socketed axe. The original surface of the axe has a light to mid brown patina, but has areas of active green corrosion through the surface.
