RecordTwo bronze bangles< 1 of 1 > Back From Kinneff, Kincardineshire
Two bronze banglesThese bronze bangles were found together with a pot and fragments of other bronze 'rings' in a cist burial (a box-like stone grave) at Kinneff in Kincardineshire. The burial dates from between 2200 and 1800 BC. The plain bangles are made from a solid round-sectioned bar of bronze bent into a butt joint so that the ends fitted together. Bangles of this type appear in both hoards and graves in the Early Bronze Age. In many of the finds, including this one, they occur in pairs. The presence of the pair of bronze bangles in this grave indicates that it was a high status burial. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
