Description: | A small well-made flint point; the artefact is diamond-shaped. It has been fashioned from a blade flake, and carefully pressure flaked to produce straight edges. On end is rounded, with a small lobe instead of a point; the other end has lost its tip. The artefact is symmetrical; the lobe appears to also be the bulb of percussion. The flint is brown, with a glossy, unworn surface. It is likely that this is a form of leaf arrowhead. The style of knapping suggests a Mesolithic date. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -8000
