Description: | An almost complete flint barb and tanged arrowhead dating from the Beaker period or the Early Bronze Age. The arrowhead is roughly triangular in plan with two semi-circular notches cut into the base to separate the barbs from the central tang. The barbs are of uneven length. The shorter of the two is almost indistinct. It terminates in a flat face suggesting it may originally have been longer but has been broken.The arrowhead is made from a secondary flake, there is a very small area of white cortex present at the highest point on one of the faces. The flake has been bifacially worked with invasive, scaled, low angle retouch on both sides.The flint is brown grey in colour with some translucency along the thin edges. It is not patinated. There is soil remaining in the deeper facets of the retouch. It measures 19.39mm x 18.37mm x 5.43mm. It weighs 1.26g.
