Description: | A possibly incomplete knapped flint possible oblique arrowhead, dating to the Neolithic period between 4000 - 2200 BC (length: 35mm; width: 15mm; thickness: 5mm; weight: 2.6g).On the ventral side of the artefact, only part of the bulb of percussion remains, with faint ripples or 'lunettes' radiating downwards. On the dorsal side, there are no distinctive or clear arrises, although there is muiltple fine knapping across the surface, particularly down the left and right edges as well as the tip.An oblique arrowhead is an asymmetrical and sub-triangular arrowhead form, made by bilateral retouch worked along one edge, and with a hollow base, as defined by Bond, C, J in 'Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics, Version 1', 2004, page 207.
