Description: | Grey flint probable transverse arrowhead, as kindly suggested by the finder. Thin sub-triangular flake with broad parallel flakes trimmed from its dorsal side and with a flat ventral surface. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows two adjacent edges, while invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the ventral aspect follows the longer of those edges. The fine working and the light weight of the object may tend to support the identification proposed, though this reporter would consider this bifacial working might suggest an alternative identification as a knife. Suggested date: Late Neolithic, 2700-2350 BC.Length: 35.4mm, Width: 30mm, Thickness: 4.4mm, Weight: 4.05gms.
