Title
Bronze Age barb and tang arrowhead
Description
English: A worked flint arrowhead of Bronze Age date. It is of barb and tang form, struck from a dark brown/grey flint. The arrowhead is triangular in form and pointed oval shaped section. It has one rectangular barb and a larger rectangular tang, the second barb appears to have been broken in antiquity with the side of the arrowhead being extensively retouched. This reworking of the object is of as high quality as the remainder of the object and it is plausible that the second barb broke or was damaged during the initial production of the object, being retouched to produce a single barbed arrowhead. It has extensive flake removal on all surfaces in additional to fine edge retouch on all exterior edges. It measures 26.61mm in length, 18.31mm in width, 4.76mm in thickness and 1.58g in weight. This arrowhead is of Early Bronze Age date, c.2150-1500 BC.
