AxeheadThis bronze axehead was found at Goudierannet in Kinross. In dates from around 1500 to 1150 BC. The long, narrow axehead has cast flanges, a wide, splayed blade and a stop-ridge. The flanges helped stop the axehead from slipping sideways in the haft while the stop-ridge prevented the haft from slipping down the tool. Axeheads of this type are found mainly over eastern and southern Scotland, particularly in Fife, Angus and Perth. They were probably made over a long period of time.
