Description: | A probable flint arrowhead of ?late Neolithic date. The blade is triangular and has a central vertical arrise and two or three transvere flake scars radiating out to one of the two converging sides. A small portion of the cortex remains and is fractured, suggesting that the implement has been burnt. The barbs are uneven and have been formed by the removal of several small chips. The tang is short, rectangular in section, and has been squared off at the bottom. The reverse is unworked. The flint is mid grey in colour. It measures 27mm high by 20.4mm wide and 4.5mm thick. It weighs 2.90g. | 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: | -2500
