Piece of a bronze axeheadThis piece of a bronze axehead is part of a hoard of jewellery and other items buried in a pot sometime between 950 and 750 BC, and ploughed up at Balmashanner in Angus. It was made in northern Britain. The socket and small loop are all that remain of the axehead. The Balmashanner hoard demonstrates how extensive and complex were the contacts between Scotland and the outside world during the early first millennium BC. The contents came from Ireland, northern Europe, north-west Europe and the eastern Alps. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
