Abstract
A blade of bronze axe (88% of Cu + 12% of Sn) is presented, found in random and whose formal characteristics allow attributing it to the Middle Bronze Age. Some hypotheses in view of explaining its presence are placed (lost weapon, votiv spoil or ritual deposition), from the few contexts known for similar artefacts from the Algarve.
