Description: | Incomplete leaf-shaped flint arrowhead, leaf-shaped in plan, and lozenge-shaped in profile and section. The dorsal and ventral faces have both been retouched throughout and both margins are bifacially retouched to create a point at the distal end. The proximal end has been snapped above where the bulb of percussion would have been on the ventral face. Half of the left margin of the dorsal face is missing, having been snapped off in the past, perhaps through use. The flint is a translucent grey-brown colour with a lighter grey patch at the point end, and was likely derived from a source like Beer Head in Devon.Bond (2004) identifies the type of arrowhead as Type 1Ad on page 123, Fig.5.106 (after Green 1980), and illustrates a similar example on page 133, Fig.5.119, No.F27 or page 134, Fig.5.120, No.F39, which are both dated to the earlier Neolithic.
