Description: | Neolithic/Early Bronze Age Projectile point. (>65 x 23 5mm). This beautifully finished leaf point is unfortunately snapped transversely near to its butt. Finished by shallow invasive flaking over both faces, there is only one tiny trace of the surface of the original blank remaining. The point is sharp. The flint is a uniform brown.
Rather larger than the range of sizes of a Neolithic leaf arrowhead, the present specimen was probably intended as a spearhead.
While the leaf point could be Neolithic (c.4000 ? c.2300 BC) there is a possibility that it could be a foreign import, or even an Early Bronze Age copy of a metal knife. | 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: | -4000
