Description: | An Early Neolithic flint knapped arrowhead, probably dating to between 2150-1500 BC. The arrowhead has a sub-rectangular, dual-facetted platform, rather than a retouched proximal end, which would have allowed the arrowhead to be hafted easily to the arrowhead shaft. There are invasive, covering removals on what seems to be the distal face of the arrowhead, but the ventral face is mostly unretouched in the centre with just the mesial edges retouched in varying sizes from crude to fine retouch. The tip of the arrowhead at the distal end has broken off. The flint is of an even dark grey colour with some small chert inclusions. It measures 45.2mm long, 39.7mm wide, 4.8mm thick and it weighs 10.4 grams. Cf. Butler 2005, p. 124, esp. nos. 7-8.
