Description: | A patinated struck flint triangular arrowhead of tranchet derivative type. It is triangular in form and section, with flaring blade end that tapers to a narrow haft end. The neatly worked surfaces have relatively limited edge retouch that is mostly confined to the sides rather than blade end of the arrowhead. The entire object has an interesting patination that is a pale yellow/orange in colour. It measures 47.95mm in length, 37.86mm in width, 4.99mm in thickness and 5.95g in weight. This is a tranchet derivative arrowhead of probable Late Neolithic date, c.2700-2550 BC.
