Description: | A small worked flint flake of prehistoric date. This piece either represents a notched flint microlith (see PAS record nos. BH-7F3678, 7F3CD0 and 7F3E38 for similar examples) or may be the tang and one barb from a late Neolithic to early Bronze Age arrowhead.
The object is sub-triangular, having been broken off along the straight upper edge. A small notch has been deliberately created at the centre of the right hand angled edge. The reverse is plain, apart from some rippling. The flint is dark greyish-brown in colour and has little patination.
The implement measures 12.8mm wide, by 12.4mm high and 1.6mm thick; the weight is 0.29g. | 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: | -6500
