| Title |
Early Bronze Age Developed Flat Axehead (Arreton Down Type) |
||
| Description |
English: An incomplete Early Bronze age cast copper-alloy developed flat axehead. The butt is incomplete at the top. In plan, its sides are parallel sides and the lower part flares abruptly to the tips of the blade. The low flanges on the butt are very low and have a maximum thickness of 12.4mm about mid-way along its length. They diminish in height towards the butt and towards the blade. The septum has a width of about 10.5mm. It has a thickness of 4.6mm at the break and its maximum thickness about mid-way along its length is 9.7mm. In plan, the cutting edge of the blade curves evenly towards the tips forming a crescent shape. The extreme end of each tip has been broken or abraded. In side view, it has an elongated pointed oval shape. There is no beveling at the cutting edge and no evidence for a stop. The surfaces are heavily pitted and corroded and seem to be stable. There is no visible evidence of decoration, casting seams, fettling or hammering. The break at the end of the butt may be old. |
