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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | 8051 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper bucket. The sides rise vertically and then slope inwards to an apparently straight rim in which is set a thin copper handle. The bottom plate is bent up and rivetted to the sides: the rim is formed by bending the top of the sides outwards and downwards and then rivetting along the edge. A good deal crushed and distorted, the handle broken. XCI. Type__ Photo__ |
| 8057 | (none) | (none) | B17443 | Bowl. [CARD MISSING] | |
| 8058 | (none) | (none) | B17453 | Copper bowl. Oval or boat-shaped. The shape is probably exaggerated by the accidental bending inwards of the long sides. In poor condition and part of the base missing. LXIII. |
| 8059 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper bowl. Shallow, with umbilical centre and pseudo-godrooned sides: the centre has been crushed flat but seems to have been convex. A handle was attached to the rim but is missing. Part of one side broken. Type 86 (new types). |
| 8060 | (none) | (none) | B17430 | Copper needle. Point broken. | |
| 8061 | (none) | (none) | B17423 | Copper pin. With lapis ball head capped with silver. [Type] V. | |
| 8065 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper axe. Normal type except that the rib down the back of the socket is unusually pronounced. [drawing] Type A1.b |
| 8066 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper knife. Straight-sided to the point, with one rivet left in the tang. Found corroded on to U.8065, and broken. [type] II |
| 8067A | (none) | (none) | (none) | [A-B] Copper pins with thickened heads and tangs. [type] I |
| 8067B | (none) | (none) | (none) | [A-B] Copper pins with thickened heads and tangs. [type] I |
| 8068 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper bowl. Hemispherical. Distorted and part of base missing. [type] III |
| 8076 | (none) | 1928,1009.435 | (none) | Whetstone. Dark stone with remains of the copper ring through the hole in the smaller end. (octagonal section). |

| 8078 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper razor. Thin sheet copper. Edge of blade all missing. [drawing 1:1] |
| 8079 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper pin. Square section. Shaft thickened at top and with tang. Broken and much corroded. [type] I |
| 8080 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper ring of 2 coils of copper wire. Probably a finger ring, but very small for the purpose. |
| 8086 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper pin. Circular section to shaft, hole near head: head pointed. [type] IV. [drawing] |
| 8087A | (none) | 1928,1009.366 | (none) | [A-B] Two copper rings, made of a 3-coil twist of wire. | |
| 8088 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper axe. Normal type. [drawing] [type] XIX. |

| 8096 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Armlets. A pair. Of copper, simple ring of wire with overlapping ends. Corroded together. |
| 8105 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Axe. Curved blade. Copper. Broken in 4 places. [drawing] 1/2 approx. Type S18 (new type) |
| 8106 | (none) | (none) | B17386 | Chisel. Copper. Chipped. [drawing 1:1] Chisel 2. | |
