Title
Bronze Age barbed and tanged arrowhead
Description
English: A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating to the early Bronze Age or Beaker Period (c. 2400-1500 BC). 

This arrowhead has been knapped from a dark grey-black piece of flint and there is no cortex remaining. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. It is broadly symmetrical in shape, with two notches chipped into the base of the flint to separate the barbs and the tang, both barbs are still intact. Both the long sides of the arrowhead have been precisely retouched to create sharp edges.There is a small chip on one edge of the arrowhead. The object is bifacially worked with covering, scaled, low angle retouch and each face shows an equal amount of  working.
