Description: | One complete knapped flint probable Petit Tranchet arrowhead, dating to the Neolithic period, between 3500 ? 2150 BC (length: 34.5mm; width: 28.5mm; thickness: 5.5mm; collective weight: 7.6g). On the ventral side of the artefact, which is trapezoidal in plan, there is no visible bulb of percussion, eraillure scar or any ripples/ ?lunettes?. On the dorsal side, there is no main arrise. Retouch is present down the left side as well as partly down the right. The artefact has an off-white/ grey colour. A similar example is illustrated in Bond, C, J, 2004, ?Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics Version 1?, pages 53 & 205, fig 5.9. Bond describes these artefacts as ?an arrowhead made on a flake blank, as a transverse arrowhead of trapezoidal shape. The blank is generally made on a blade that has been segmented, then modified with bilateral abrupt retouch. | 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: | -3500
