Description: | One complete knapped flint leaf-shaped arrowhead, dating to the Neolithic period, between 3500 - 2150 BC (length: 38mm; width: 19mm; thickness: 3mm; weight: 2.3g). There is extensive retouch on both surfaces of this artefact, which also has an off white/ grey colour.A similar example is illustrated in Bond, C, J, 2004, 'Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics Version 1', pages 53 & 205, fig 5.10. Bond describes this type of artefact as having 'a bifacially flaked-point, leaf shape in outline with pressure flaked invasive retouch. The retouch may cover each or both complete surfaces, or be localised to the edges and/ or a tip.'
