Description: | This is an oblique arrowhead. It is sub rectangular in shape. The dorsal face has semi-abrupt short subparallel retouch along the left margin down to a snapped-off tang which has been retouched from the ventral face at the proximal end. This may be evidence of reuse. The right dorsal margin has been pressure flaked to create a sharp edge towards a spur at the point where the proximal right tang has been snapped. The distal tip has also snapped, possibly in use. The flint is dark brown with white specks and has only tertiary cortex, but was probably a local beach pebble.Butler 2005 illustrates a complete example on Page 159 Fig 66 No 13. which he places in the Later Neolithic period.
