Copper Alloy
Copper alloys are metal alloys that have copper as their principal compoenet. They have high resistance against corosion. Bronze is created when tin is added, Brass is created when zinc is added. It is almost impossible to separate the different alloys based on appearance alone. Chemical testing is needed to distinguish these separate alloys.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | 7970 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper pin. Similar in type to U.7969. Broken across middle. [type] I |
| 7972A | (none) | (none) | (none) | [A-B] Two copper rings. Found on the finger bones. Plain heavy wire with ends overlapping. |
| 7973 | (none) | (none) | B17547 | Copper bowl or cauldron. In very bad condition. Type LVI. |
| 7977A | (none) | (none) | (none) | Pair of bracelets. [A] One of copper, [B] one of silver. Each made of 3 coils of plain wire: on each is hung a smaller ring made of 3 coils of gold wire. The silver armlet is broken. |
| 7978 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper pin. With lapis ball head. Point broken [type] V |
| 7979 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper pin with lapis ball head [type] V |
| 7980 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper knife. Damaged: the blade has been bent up and cracked, and above this is much corroded and the edges have gone; below the bend well preserved. Point broken but found. Apparently of the usual straight-sided type, but the damage makes it hard to identify. |
| 7981 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper adze. [drawing] Normal type, socketed. |
| 7982A | (none) | (none) | (none) | [A-B] Two copper bowls. One with a well-marked ring base. Both damaged, corroded together, probably more or less hemispherical in shape. Type _. |
| 7988A | (none) | (none) | B17436 | [A] Copper knife. Straigh-sided with square shoulders to a short tang in which was one rivet (broken off: point of knife also broken but present). Oxydised onto the knife blade is a [B] copper reticule of normal type II | |
| 7991 | (none) | (none) | B17424 | Copper pin with head [drawing] tanged thus [type] I | |
| 7994 | (none) | (none) | B17406 | Copper bowl. Oval, almost boat-shaped. In good condition but cracked. In it were several lumps of copper, apparently unformed. [type] LXIII. | |
| 8007B | (none) | (none) | B17462 | Silver plaque in two parts. [A] A circular plaque diam 009, part of the edge broken away; in center, raised electrum boss surrounded by six silver bosses; round them a border of two double raised concentric bands with fine radial lines between; folded over this and sticking to it when found was a second piece of silver with copper backing apparently broken off from where the edge of the circle is missing; the shape of the whole object would look like an elaborate buckle thus [drawing]. [B] A copper pin 0075 long was corroded on the back [C] (as were many beads) but need not belong to it. The three are cataloged under the same number. | |
| 8022 | (none) | (none) | B17416 | Copper axe. Normal type thus: [drawing] The socket split and broken. [Type] XIX | |
| 8023 | (none) | (none) | B17329 | Copper knife. Straight-sided. Tang and point both missing and the blade broken across. [type] II | |
| 8024 | (none) | (none) | B17328 | Copper knife Broken, and the tang missing. Straight-sided type [Type] II |
| 8026 | (none) | (none) | B17461 | Copper pin. Point missing. The shaft widens above and is pierced by a small hole; then it thins down and bends over and ends in a large ball head (the material perhaps a paste) originally capped with silver which has now almost all gone. [drawing 1:1] | |
| 8027 | (none) | (none) | B17467 | Copper pin. With ball head and lapis capped with silver. The shaft much decayed and broken into 5 pieces. | |
| 8034 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper axe. Type XI [drawing] Blade of the usual type, but instead of a solid socket the metal is simply bent round the haft and welded, the sides brought over the two edges of the blade & hammered in. When found, there were remains of coarse matting on either side of the blade : it might have been merely wrapped in matting, but it also might have had a matting sheath. [drawing 1:1] |
| 8036 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper axe Similar to U.8034 but without the thinning of the blade near the ring socket. Type X [drawing] Broken across but complete |
| 8037 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper reticule. Normal type with 4 instruments. |
| 8038 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper bowl. Hemispherical. Part of one side chipped, but initially complete. [Type] III |
| 8042 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper pin with tanged head The shaft, almost rectangular in section, thickens towards the top and is pierced with a small hole. |
| 8042A | (none) | (none) | (none) | [DUPLICATE NUMBER] Copper pin with tanged head. Broken into 4 pieces. I. |
| 8043 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper pin with lapis ball head. Broken into 5 pieces [Type] V |
