Description: | A barbed and tanged flint arrowhead. The arrowhead was made from an orangey flint, with bands of darker brown-orange. There is retouch around the edges on both faces, although very little flaking in the faces' centres. The distal edge curves away from the main body, which itself has a pronounced ridge towards one of the sides of one of the edges. The barbs of the flint are pointed. This fact and the size of the arrowhead suggest that it is of the Sutton type, common in the early Bronze Age (Green 1980, 117-143). The arrowhead's tang was broken in antiquity, as were the distal point and one of the barbs. | 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
