Description: | A fragment of a leaf-shaped arrowhead that has a flat, lenticular section bifacially. The piece is totally invasively worked and made of translucent brown flint with opaque cream inclusions. It has 2 parallel snaps transversely, leaving a trapezoid segment minus a tip and not quite expanding to its fullest width. The lateral margins are straight and sharp with no step fractures on the flat surfaces, presenting a smooth and continuous surface for flight and embedding in the prey or foe. The complete plan can only be guessed at, but some form of leaf-shaped or possibly lozenge-shaped arrowhead is likely. Butler(2005) illustrates a leaf arrowhead on page 124, fig 49, No.5.
