Description: | Neolithic, patinated off white flint, leaf shaped arrow head, fashioned from a secondary flake off a beach pebble. It has been bifacially worked with removals to 80% of its surface. The centre of the ventral appears to retain a polished surface. This may be a fortuitous result of some form of flaking, but there are no sign of conchoidal rippling so this is unlikely to be the result of artificial flaking. There is a central retained patch of cortex on the dorsal side. Dorsal retouch invasive, sub-parallel, low angled; ventral retouch invasive, parallel, low angled. Dates from c3500 to c2300 BC.The length is 22mm, width 16mm, and the weight is 1.31g.For similar records see WILT-92CA47, LVPL-45C390, YORYM-D9CE27, KENT-C5C5F7, and NLM-A25D65.
