Description: | An incomplete flint arrowhead of Bronze Age date (2350-800 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with a pronounced, central, longitudinally running arrise. The distal, left and right hand edges have fine low angled retouch. The proximal edge has two notches, one to each side and a partially retained tang. The ventral surface is slightly concave with ripples of percussion emanating from the proximal end.The flint is cream in colour with brown inclusions throughout.The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
