Description: | Flint projectile point, triangular in plan and plano-convex in profile and section. The distal end and lateral margins have been unimarginally retouched on the dorsal face. The proximal end has been snapped off above the bulb of percussion is, perhaps deliberately to create an indented end for better hafting. There appear to be gloss marks on both the dorsal and ventral faces, leading from the edges inwards, which suggest that it may have been sheathed.The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour, probably made from a local beach pebble, and the length to breadth ratio is about 2:1.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example of a 'triangular arrowhead' on page 146, Fig.5.132, No.37, which is dated to the Beaker period, and a 'transverse arrowhead' on page 152, Fig.5.136, No.F148, which is dated to the Later Neolithic.
