| Title |
Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead |
||
| Description |
English: A knapped flint leaf-shaped arrowhead dating from the Earlier Neolithic period (c.3500BC - c.2500BC). Length: 41.5mm. Width: 20.7mm. Thickness: 7.2mm. Mass: 6.0g. The arrowhead is pointed oval shaped in plan. The arrowhead is made from bifacially worked flint flake, which is brown in colour with some opaque light brown cortex-like inclusions visible on both faces. The tip at the distal end is pointed. There is a small nick in the tip at the proximal end, and it appears slightly more rounded than the distal tip. The arrowhead has invasive retouch on both the dorsal and the ventral faces, although this is absent from the central area of the ventral face. In profile, the distal end of the arrowhead is thicker than the proximal end. The arrowhead has a pointed-oval shaped cross-section. The leaf shaped arrowhead is similar to Green's Type 2B (n) form (see Green, 1980, "The Flint Arrowheads of the British Isles", fig 27). In "Prehistoric Flintwork", Butler comments that leaf shaped arrowheads have been found in association with Early Neolithic pottery and Early and Middle Neolithic monumnets such as causewayed enclosures and long barrows. |
