Abstract
SummaryA hoard of eighteen bronze axes and three pieces of unwrought metal cake was discovered at Roxby, Lincs. in November 1882. After the sale of the pieces in 1931 all trace of the hoard was lost until it was identified in 1975 among the Wellcome Collection of prehistoric antiquities, which had been transferred to the Department of Prehistoric and Romano-British Antiquities of the British Museum. The hoard is fully described, illustrated and analysed by atomic absorption. It includes scrap axes as well as local ‘Yorkshire’ ones of the Late Bronze Age Heathery Burn Tradition, datable to the eighth/sixth centuries B.C., and was probably deposited towards the end of this period.
