Description: | An oblique arrowhead of translucent brown flint. It was finely made with a nearly symmetrical profile and pointed tip and barb with sharp, even edges.The straight lateral margin was bifacially invasively worked. The opposite side is convex in plan and worked invasively from one side and meets the other margin at a distal point. The lower end forms a pointed barb where the oblique, bifacially, invasively worked base margin imperceptably curves to meet it. Much of the preform flake surface is remaining with a broad transverse removal of a single flake scarred surface. Bond(2004) illustrates this type of oblique arrow as a 'Green f' on page 124, fig 5.109 and Butler(2005) on page 160 comments that 'They are frequently found with Grooved Ware pottery.' The findspot is between 2 such groups.
