Description: | A flint chisel arrowhead of late Neolithic date. The arrowhead is sub-triangular in shape. There is fine, short, sub-parallel, low angle retouch along the right edge of the dorsal face. Along the left edge of the same face is coarse, scaled, long, low angle retouch. The third edge has a single primary flake removed and no further retouch, creating a chisel-like effect. There are several larger flaking scars on the dorsal face, but the ventral face is largely smooth and flat. The bulb and butt have been removed. There are fairly strong lines of impact on the ventral face. According to Butler (2005, p.158) ' they were probably hafter into a wooden shaft at the retouched end, thus presenting the broad unmodified edge'.Length: 42.46mm, Width: 31.53mm, Thickness: 4.13mm, Weight: 4.06g
