Title
BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Description
English: Knapped flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age (c. 2700 BC - c.1600 BC). The arrowhead is bifacially worked and sub-triangular in plan with slightly convex sides and a small chip at the point. There are two round ended notches in the base, flanking the central tang with a barb at either side. The tang is wider and longer than the barbs and has a rounded end. One barb has lost it's tip, the other is complete with angled ends coming to a point at the base (obliquely shaped). The arrowhead has semi-invasive semi-abrupt parallel retouch down both edges and across the point on both sides, with an unretouched area in the centre of both sides. The flint is pale grey with some medium grey areas. It is 33.2mm long, 24.0mm wide and 4.5mm thick; it weighs 3.42 grams.
