Description: | Flint barbed and tanged arrowhead with one of the two barbs having broken off in antiquity. The arrowhead is triangular in plan with a wide tang and a rounded barb which does not quite meet the base of the tang, in length. The arrowhead is bimarginally reworked around its entire edge and on both the ventral and dorsal faces.The flint is dark brown in colour, with slightly translucent edges, probably made from a local beach pebble. The length to breadth ratio is about 1:1.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar barbed and tanged arrowhead on page 125, Fig.5.110, Sutton Type B (h), and another on page 147, Fig.5.133, No.F177, which are both dated to the Beaker period.Keene (1999) illustrates a similarly broken barbed and tanged arrowhead from Colliford Reservoir, Bodmin Moor, on page 24, Fig.14, No.12, which is dated to the Beaker period.
