Description: | An nearly complete barbed-and-tanged flint arrowhead of the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 2500 BC-1500 BC). The arrowhead is fashioned from dark grey-coloured flint of even colour and patina. The arrowhead is sub-triangular in plan with only its point-tip, a small amount of the tang and the very end of one barb missing. Covering pressure flake removals are evident on both ventral and dorsal faces and retouch is present on the sharpened outer edges of the implement. It seems to be of the Sutton Type (cf. Butler 2005, Figs. 68-69). This example has flat mesial edges, rather than outwardly-curving edges typical to many related types.
