Title
Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead
Description
English: Leaf-shaped arrowhead dating to the Neolithic period. The arrowhead has some very fine working along the upper left edge of the dorsal (upper) face. At the butt there is a small patch of cortex and a tiny surface area of working where the flint has been prepared before being struck from the nodule. The ventral face is smooth with a bulb of percussion. The arrowhead shows evidence of heat alteration in the form of tiny cracks on the surface and has patination on some parts of the surface (this is the milky coloured surface layer caused by the chemical reaction between the flint and the soil). The arrowhead weighs 2.9g and measures 28.9mm in length, 17.9mm in width and 7.44mm in thickness.
