Description: | One incomplete knapped flint barbed and tanged arrowhead, dating to the Bronze Age, between 2150 ? 800 BC (length: 31mm; width: 22.5mm; thickness: 6mm; weight: 2.7g). One of the side tangs and part of the central tang are missing as a result of the break. There is extensive retouch on both surfaces and the artefact is off-white/ grey in colour. Similar examples are illustrated in Bond, C, J, 2004, ?Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics Version 1?, pages 54 & 205-6, figs 5.13-5.15. Bond describes these arrowheads are being ?bifacially worked and mainly triangular and sub-triangular in outline. At the basal and proximal area two notches are flaked to form the tang and 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: | -2150
