Description: | A flint chisel arrowhead of probable late Neolithic or early Bronze Age date. The arrowhead is complete and measures 27.8mm by 26.4mm by 7.1mm. It weighs 4.6g. It has been made from a fairly thick tertiary (no remaining cortex) flake of light greyish-brown flint and is in a fresh condition with some minor edge damage. The dorsal surface has been fairly coarsely invasively retouched. This has removed the flake's striking platform and bulb of percussion. There is also some short retouch on the ventral surface, to sharpen the arrowhead's cutting edge. | Subjects: | Chisel | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
