Description: | Fayum Egypt This flint arrowhead is reddish-brown in colour, and is concave-shaped at the base.
Arrowheads like this would be made by chipping at a chunk of stone, a process known as "knapping", which requires great skill. On close inspection, the marks made by this process can be seen.
After the arrowhead had been fashioned, it would have been a very effective and sharp point, which could have been used in hunting and other such activities. | 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: | STONE : ARROWHEAD : BECCA : FLINT : RJONES01 : NORTH AFRICA : | 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 |
