During the ninth century BC, and especially in its second half, considerable quantities of bronze products were being moved around western Europe, much of this material eventually to end up buried in the ground, subsequently to be left there, far from its starting point. What lay behind this traffic, and why so much metal was abandoned, is largely a matter for guesswork. South Welsh socketed axes epitomise some of the more baffling aspects of this phenomenon. A discussion of the occurence of founders hoards containing 'South Wales' socketed axes and distinctive carp's tongue metalwork in southern Britain and northern France leads the author to conclude that answers to many questions can only come from a younger and fitter person than himself trekking round a lot of museums on both sides of the Channel, but especially in France, to draw and record properly those French axes which still exist. | ||
