The various experiments performed over the years demonstrate that the Ploukilla axe-ingots were likely cast using various mould material such as wood, clay and sand. Introduction A series of copper axe-ingots (ingots shaped like axeheads) found in Brittany during the early 20th century, has a shape similar to that of the flat axeheads of the Killaha phase, which is when tin-bronze was first used in Ireland (circa 2150-2000/1900 BC). This particular pattern is similar to the triangular tin-bronze axe-ingot also from the Plouhinec hoard (Finistère) discussed above, and it may thus be suggested that a wooden mould was indeed used to cast this atypical axe-ingot (ibid., pp.149 and 161, figure 4-39; see also Gandois et al., 2019, p.18, figure 14.3a-b).
