Description: | An incomplete early Neolithic laurel-leaf shaped flint arrowhead dating from about 3500 BC-2900 BC. The object has been knapped from a light grey opaque flint, mottled with a brown patina. The arrowhead has scalar retouch on both ventral and dorsal faces as well as around the edges. The flint also has a striking platform at the proximal end; the tip at the distal end has been broken off, which indicates that it was utilised. Examples of this type of arrowhead may be found in Edmonds' Stone Tools and Society, page 47.Length: 24.5mm; Width: 16.8mm; Thickness: 4.3mm; Weight: 1.91g
