Title
Early Bronze Age flint barbed and tanged arrowhead
Description
English: An incomplete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating to the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age c.2500-1500 cal BC.

The arrowhead is made from a tertiary flake of flint that is a matte white colour. Almost the entire arrowhead survives barring the tip of one barb, which is chipped off half way along its length, and the tang which is also slightly truncated. Both breaks have the same patination as the rest of the arrow indicating this occurred a long time ago, possibly before its deposition. Each surface is covered in scaled retotuch.

The arrowhead is 30mm long, 26mm wide and 3mm thick. It weighs 3 grams.

The form of this arrowhead with barbs that are slightly angular comfortably fits the Conygar Farm arrowhead (type d) (Butler 2005, 162-165 after Green 1980). This form is associated with the Beaker phase of the Late / final Neolithic and Early Bronze Age c. 2500 BC-1500 BC (Butler 2005, 162)
Depicted place (County of findspot) Oxfordshire
Date between 2500 BC and 1500 BC
