Régészet - Tarbay, János Gábor: New Late Bronze Age Metal Finds from Gönc
New Late Bronze Age Metal Finds from Gönc 11 abrasion. The cutting edge is hammered and narrow. Tool marks can be seen near the breakage point of the object, at the back side (See Plate 6. 7). Length: 55.94 mm; Width: 32.50 mm; Width (blade): 29.40 mm; Thickness: 4.28 mm, 0.77 mm; Weight: 27.3 g. (Plate 4. 12) 13. tanged sickle (Inv. No. 2018.1.11): Tip fragment of a tanged sickle. The outer rib is hammered and intensively polished due to abrasion. The blade is hammered and slightly facetted. The cutting edge is sharp and shows many micro notches. A blow mark is visible near to the tip. The object was broken from bending. Length: 50.50 mm; Width (blade): 23.34 mm; Thickness: 3.99 mm, 0.74 mm; Weight: 15 g. (Plate 4. 13) 14. sickle (Inv. No. 2018.1.8): Tip fragment of an unknown sickle type. The outer rib is hammered. The blade is narrow, the cutting edge shows micro-notches. As vertical cracks suggest, it was broken from bending. Intensive abrasion traces can be seen near to the outer rib from the backside. Length: 51.52 mm; Width: 15.42 mm; Width (blade): 14.32 mm; Thickness: 4.21 mm, 1.34 mm; Weight: 9.7 g. (Plate 4. 14) 15. knobbed sickle (Inv. No. 2018.1.2, Inv. No. 2018.1.12): Knobbed sickle with high-arched, narrow blade in two recent fragments. The tool is decorated with sharp outer and inner ribs. The inner rib is defected near to the base. The base is extended and shows sharp breakage surface which can be associated with the removal of the sprue. The cutting edge is hammered from both sides. Length: 104.31 mm; Width: 37.48 mm; Width (blade): 19.5 mm; Width (base): 13.61 mm, 16.85 mm; Thickness: 4.34 mm, 1.33 mm; Weight: 35.7 g. (Plate 4. 15) 16. knobbed sickle (Inv. No. 2018.1.6): Intact knobbed sickle with high-arched, narrow blade. The outer and inner ribs are fused due to casting defect (See Plate 7. 3. a—b). Imprint of the mould can be seen on the backside (See Plate 6. 4). Hammer marks and sharpening can be observed on the blade. The base is slightly extended and shows sharp breakage surface which can be associated with the removal of the sprue. Length: 100.74 mm; Width: 56.88 mm; Width (blade): 22.84 mm; Width (base): 19.94 mm, 13.38 mm; Thickness: 4.92 mm, 0.87 mm; Weight: 52.8 g. (Plate 4. 16) 17. pin/knob/rivet (Inv. No. 2018.1.24): Fragment of a cast pin/knob/rivet with disc-shaped head and ovalsectioned shaft. It was broken from bending. Casting seams are visible along the backside of the object. The center of the disc-shaped head is decorated with a spike, encircled by two ribs. The breakage surface shows traces of mismatch defect. Diameter of the head: 27.88x28.95 mm; Thickness of the shaft: 4.5x8 mm; Thickness of the head: 2 mm; Overall height: 16.57 mm; Weight: 7.5 g. (Plate 5. 17) 18. button (Inv. No. 2018.1.23): Convex, metal sheet button with perforations. The object is fragmentary and it was originally folded. Diameter: 41.66x39.86 mm; Thickness: 0.36 mm; Weight: 6 g. (Plate 5. 18) 19. annular ring (Inv. No. 2018.1.22): Rhomboid sectioned, flattened annular ring. It shows a slight mismatch defect. Its sprue was removed and polished. Overall diameter: 65.08x62.84 mm; Inner diameter: 46.81x49.05 mm; Thickness: 8x2 mm, 7x2 mm; Weight: 20.9 g. (Plate 5. 19) 20. annular ring (Inv. No. 2018.1.18): Half fragment of a thick, rhomboid sectioned annular ring. The edges show intensive traces of abrasion. Recent damage can be observed on the inner part, most likely caused by agricultural work. Length: 65.44 mm; Width: 30.53 mm; Thickness: 6.7x7.72 mm; Weight: 27 g. (Plate 5. 20) 21. annular ring (Inv. No. 2018.1.26): Small-sized, circle-sectioned annular ring in intact state. Overall diameter: 36.79x37.66 mm, Inner diameter: 29.59x29.18 mm, Thickness: 3.47x3.89 mm, Weight: 10.7 g. (Plate 5. 21) 22. annular ring (Inv. No. 2018.1.27): Small-sized, circle-sectioned annular ring, slightly bent. Overall diameter: 42.3x38.12 mm, Inner diameter: 30.3x35.2 mm, Thickness: 3.63x4.18 mm, Weight: 9.2 g. (Plate 5. 22) 23. annular ring (Inv. No. 2018.1.25): Small-sized, thick, circle-sectioned annular ring in intact state. Overall diameter: 40.11x39.94 mm, Inner diameter: 30.13x30.41 mm, Thickness: 5.37x5.3 mm, Weight: 19 g. (Plate 5. 23) 24. “double annular ring” (Inv. No. 2018.1.21): cast object made up of two flat, rhomboid-sectioned rings. The remains of the sprue were polished. It shows traces of mismatch. Abrasion is not visible on the object. Length: 71.38 mm, Width: 34.66 mm, Thickness: 4.17x6.99 mm, Weight: 23 g. (Plate 5. 24) 25. “double annular ring” (Inv. No. 2018.1.20): cast object made up of two flat, rhomboid-sectioned rings. The remains of the sprue were polished. It shows traces of mismatch. Abrasion is not visible on the object. Its dimensions are close to Cat. No. 24. These two objects were either cast in the same mould or their negatives were made after a similar model. Length: 70.3 mm, Width: 34.53 mm, Thickness: 4.07x7.11 mm, Weight: 20.2 g. (Plate 5. 25) 26. ring (Inv. No. 2018.1.19): Circle-sectioned, bent fragment of a ring. Part of the object is missing due to recent breakage. Recent damage can be seen in the middle as well. Length: 119.39 cm, Thickness: 4.3x4.75 mm, Weight: 21.5 g. (Plate 5. 26)
