Full Description
Pre 1906. Stray Find.
Fordham Fen:
Bronze Age copper alloy socketed axehead. Flanged and tapered.
Donated to King's Lynn Museum (KILLM : 1993.164) [1].
This object is apparently noted in (S1) and is the reason that 'Fordham' is listed in (S2) as being one of the places that had produced at least one copper alloy implement prior to 1906 (the location of the object being given as the Lynn Museum).
Information from (S3), which has a sketch of the object on its reverse.
Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 30 August 2018.
