Title |
Bronze Age Flat Axehead |
||
Description |
English: A cast copper alloy small flat axehead of Early Bronze Age date. The axehead is sub-rectangular in plan with a narrow rounded butt and parallel straight sides which expand to the cutting edge. It is of narrow butted form with slight low flanges to either side. The relatively straight sided body broadens to the blade, which is 2.45mm thick. There an indication of the beginnings of a stop ridge.
The axehead measures 80.03mm in length, 18.01mm in width at the butt, 39.43mm in width at the cutting edge and 13.97mm in thickness. It weighs 140.2g. The patina across most of the axehead has been worn and eaten away by invasive corrosion. This has left much of the axe covered in deep craters or pocks, the largest of which is 5.85mm in diameter. This axe is in the Migdale tradition and can be dated c. 2300-2050BC. |
