Description: | A sub-triangular, barbed and tanged flint arrowhead. The arrowhead is quite crude in form. It is manufactured from a mainly opaque mid greenish brown flint but with a band of white around the point, and the tip of the point is translucent orange. The extreme tip of the point appears to have broken off in antiquity. One face of the arrowhead is very slightly concave, the other is very slightly convex. There are two large patches of cortex surviving on both faces of the object. In plan, the two side edges are slightly curvilinear giving the point a narrow and extended appearance. The edges have been worked with invasive, low-angle and irregular retouch on both faces. One barb is slightly longer than the other, and rounded, while the other is pointed. The tang is rounded but with a small piece missing possibly due to damage. The tang matches the length of the longer barb.
