Description: | An Early Neolithic flint implement; a leaf shaped arrowhead. The arrowhead is kite shaped and is bifacially worked across the whole of both faces. Bifacial arrowheads were more difficult to make than other forms, and may have been for show rather than for use, though numerous isolated finds do suggest that they were also used. Compare number 5 in figure 49 on page 124 of Prehistoric Flintwork (Butler, 2005). The arrowhead is 32.43mm long, 18.67mm wide and 3.22mm thick. It weighs 1.63g. The flint has a white patina.
