Description: | Possible flint arrowhead of late Neolithic date. The object is sub-triangular in shape. The flint has a milky, speckled patina. The proximal end is missing. The break has exposed a greyish interior beneath the patination, suggesting that it occured post-deposition. There is semi-abrupt, long, sub-parallel retouch along the left and right edges of the dorsal face. The ventral face is fairly flat, with possible fine retouch along the right edge and the bulb is missing. The is evidence of plough damage in places along the edges and the very tip is missing. This is probably a fragment of a late Neolithic arrowhead. Though the lack of a proximal end makes it difficult to determine the type.Length: 26.22mm, Width: 18.93mm, Thickness: 3.04mm, Weight: 1.89g
