faceache, yeah - that was it.. rumbled from a bloody mile off!!
I actually think I spotted a fake later middle Bronze Axe socketed axe at the Yorkshire museum when we were doing some classification research for our research skills module for the MA. I know there was one fake in the assemblage, but I broke it to the curator that I actually think there was one of the others that was a potential fake too (I spent weeks in 2008 at Flag Fen doing classification of Bronze artefacts from the last 10 years of excavations) ... she was a bit peeved, but she said she would get someone to look at it.... it was horrible! - thats a bit off topic, but it shows just how susceptible to fakes museums are
