Title
Early Bronze Age flint arrowhead
Description
English: An incomplete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead. Made on a flake of light brown flint. The faces have mid-gloss surfaces. The triangular arrowhead has been made laterally across a thin, broad flake which is slightly twisted. There are waves of percussion on the ventral face. There is semi-invasive retouch on the margins, forming a blunt point at the apex. At the base one of the notches is partially worked but incomplete, leaving it quite shallow. In forming the other notch the side has broken off, shearing from the centre of the notch to a point around two thirds along the margin on the same side. There is a remnant of the notch remaining.

Date: Early Bronze Age - c. 2350- 1600 BC
Dimensions: 34.37mm x 12.89mm x 1.22mm

Weight: 2.44g

Mike Trevarthen (pers. comm.) has suggested that the incomplete notching on this arrowhead indicates that it was broken during manufacture.
