Description: | An incomplete barbed and tanged flint arrowhead of Early Bronze Age date (2150 BC - 1500 BC). Length 22mm, width 19mm and 5.1mm thick. The arrowhead is composed of mid-grey flint and is partially translucent. Both faces have been invasively retouched to form the shape. One side is mainly flat and the other side is slightly convex. One of the barbs is pointed and the other is squared off. The size and shape of the implement conforms to the Sutton b type, common in the Early Bronze Age (Green 1980, 117-143). The tang is relatively short and may be broken. However, this is difficult to to determine. The tip is almost certainly broken and this break appears to be old.
