Title
Bromze Age Copper Alloy Chisel
Description
English: Bronze Age tanged and collared chisel of Late Bronze Age date, probably of Wilburton or Ewart Park metalworking industry, corresponding with Needham's (1996) Periods 6-7, dated to 1150 - 750BC.

The chisel is incomplete missing nearly all the tang (with a surviving length of 50.8mm and a weight of 19.0g). The surviving part of the tang is short (at 3mm) and appears to be of sub-square section. The tang gradually widens to define a flanged shoulder/ "collar" moulding of sub-oval form, probably worn (15.2mm long and 13.3mm wide) and gradually narrows below the flanged shoulder. The sides of the blade are curved and divergent to produce a curved blade edge (with a blade width of 33.7mm). The original blade edge has been lost with no definite evidence for differential wear across the blade edge. The blade faces are flat and thin gradually towards the edge (with a thickness of 3.7mm below the shoulder and 0.8mm above the edge) and with the suggestion of subtle blade facets on each face (5mm from the blade edge). The surface is heavily-pitted and corroded with a dark-green to brown patina and no surviving evidence for sharpening striations on the blade.
