Description: | Incomplete barbed and tanged flint arrowhead. This arrowhead has suffered some damage and is now missing its tip, the points to each barb and a fraction of the tang. It is 32.74mm long, 23.8mm wide, 5.58mm thick and weighs 3.76g. The tang length is 6.66mm with a width of 7.7mm. The arrowhead is bi-facially worked over all with ripple flaking. The two sides of the arrowhead form an angle of approximately 45 degrees. The flint is opaque and dark grey in colour, with translucent light grey edges. Flint arrowheads of this type were in use in the early Bronze Age sometime between 2500 and 1400BC. An example can also be seen in Pierpoint 1981, figure 13, number 17. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Caroline McDonald | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
