Description: | Two knapped flint leaf-shaped arrowheads, dating to the Neolithic period, between 3500 ? 2150 BC (length: 28-31.5mm; width: 17.5-20mm; thickness: 3-3.5mm; collective weight: 3.9g). There is retouch on both sides of the artefact, which are both off-white/ light grey in colour. One of the arrowheads is slightly broken along the edge. 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 5.10. Bond describes these arrowheads as having ?a bifacially flaked-point, leaf shape in outline with pressure flaked invasive retouch. The retouch may cover each or both complete surfaces, or be localised to the edges and/ or a tip.? | 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
