Description: | One complete knapped flint leaf-shaped arrowhead, dating to the Neolithic period, between 3500 - 2150 BC (length: 25.5mm; width: 18.5mm; thickness: 3mm; weight: 1.7g). There is retouch on both sides of the artefact, which is light brown in 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 these arrowheads 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.'
