Description: | Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged arrowhead made from a light grey thin primary flint flake struck from the face of a thermal fracture. The invasive pressure flaking is kept to a minimum on the ventral (bulbar) face, but is more pronounced on the dorsal (thermally fractured) face. The majority of the shaping flakes are towards the proximal (point) end on both faces. One barb is missing and the break is ancient. It is unclear whether the break occurred during manufacture or use. Length 28mm. An example of the non-fancy Sutton B type (Green 1980).Barbed and tanged arrowheads where in use during the Beaker Period (2300-1700 BC).
