Description: | Catno. is noted on one side, along with the word "ARMAGH". Armagh, Ireland MANU Unknown The arrowhead would have been attached to the piece of wood with string to ensure that it wouldn't fall off during use.
The arrows would most likely have been used for hunting of small animals as the flint heads would have been too small to seriously injure a large animal.
The site where these were found dates back almost 7,500 years, the arrowhead is most likely neolithic but further analysis is required. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | EM : ARROW HEAD : ARROWHEAD : ARROW HEADS : PREHISTORIC : STONE AGE : RJONES01 : EUROPE : FLINT_LIST : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
