Title
Early Bronze Age Flat Axe
Description
English: Early Bronze Age flat axehead. The axe has an expanded blade with a crescentic cutting edge. The blade does not expand very far beyond the line of the shaft, suggesting that it has been used and reground a number of times. The tapering shaft sides are rounded, and the object is damaged around the butt. The blade width is 53mm, and the broken butt end measures 21mm in width. The surface is pitted and has an even mid green patina.
