| Title |
Early Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead |
||
| Description |
English: Fragment of a large flint leaf-shaped arrowhead, dating to the early Neolithic. It was pointed oval in shape but the point end has broken away with a straight break across the head slightly above the widest point and the edges are damaged in places, c.60% of the arrowhead survives. The arrowhead has shallow invasive parallel retouch on both faces with some shorter, shallow retouch near the edges. The retouch completely covers the centre of the dorsal face where there is a crack with an unretouched area in the centre of the ventral face. The butt and lower left edge (see from the dorsal side) appear complete, while the right edge is chipped. The complete edge is straight and the two edges are at a c.75% angle to each other meeting in a poitn at the butt. There is a rounded but distinct corner on each side where the sides start to angle inwards. Above the corner the right edge is complete and straight while the left edge is concave and appears chipped. The angle of the complete edge suggests the upper part was longer which suggests the complete end is the butt. It ends in an angled snap. The flint is opaque and pale buff-orange in colour, probably from iron staining. It measures 27.6mm in length, 23.9mm in width, 3.4mm in thickness and weighs 2.39g. |
