leaf shaped arrowheads early neolithic |
||
Description |
English: Collection of 9 pieces of worked flint and a fragment of tooth root (animal). Typical of Early Neolithic styles.
Tooth - 29mm x 8mm x 4mm. 0.7g. Enamel still surviving in places. Flints. 1) Leaf shaped arrowhead. Amber coloured flint with cortex still present on one side. Tip is broken in antiquity. Some retouching on the otherwise smooth reverse. Possibly abandoned prior to completion. 36 x 18 x 2.5mm. 2.3g. 2) Leaf shaped arrowhead. Grey mottled colour flint. Complete. Tip slightly blunted through use. Evidence of retouching on both sides. 34 x 28 x 2mm. 1.9g. 3) Light grey worked flint. Possibly a leaf shaped arrowhead waster. No evidence or retouching, although the sharp edges may have allowed use as a scraper. 4) Dark grey flint. Percussion points clearly visible. Probable scraper. 27 x 18 x 7mm. 3.9g. 5) Dark grey flint. Cortext still present on reverse. Blade. Sharp edge, no retouching. 53 x 20 x 5mm. 5.1g. 6) Light grey flint. Scraper. Slight retouching. Blunt through use. 37 x 25 x 8mm. 6.8g. 7) Cream coloured flint. Probable 'laurel leaf' fragment, or less likely to be an axe fragment. Laurel leaves have been interpreted as large spear heads or as retouched knives. The bluntness of this example suggests heavy use and also probable post-depositional wear and tear within the quarry/reservior. The break is angular. 50 x 40 x 8mm. 23.5g. 8) Opaque white flint. Waste flake. 37 x 24 x 5mm. 4.9g. 9) Opaque white flint. Possible blade. more likely a waste flake. 2.1g. This collection is clear evidence of on-site flint knapping around the Pitsford Reservior.
