| Title |
Bronze Age Barbed and Tanged Arrowhead |
||
| Description |
English: A complete Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged flint arrowhead (c. 2500 BC to c. 1500 BC).
This pale grey, buff and off-white arrowhead appears to have been knapped from a flake with a dorsal and ventral surface. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan and pointed-oval in cross section. The tang is a square shape and the barbs are pointed in plan. Both long sides / edges of the arrowhead, including the barbs, on the dorsal face have been knapped to form a cutting edge. However, there is no fine retouch. The ventral face is largely flat and featureless. Height: 22.4mm; width: 19.7mm; thickness: 2.9mm. Weight: 1.11g. Similar flint barb and tanged arrowheads are associated with the Beaker phase of the Late / final Neolithic and Early Bronze Age c. 2500 BC-1500 BC. This example fits into the sub-classification of non-Fancy B&T arrowheads best described as Sutton types (Butler 2005: 162-165, fig. 68, ref: 10) after Green (1980). This example is best described as having pointed barbs and a squared tang (A/F). Butler, C. 2005. Prehistoric Flintwork. Tempus Publishing. Stroud. Green, H.S. 1980.
