Arrowhead

Unique ID: NMGW-8EFBF4

Object type certainty: Certain

Neolithic or Early Bronze Age flint leaf arrowhead, probably dating from between 3500 and 1500 BC. The arrowhead is small and squat and is triangular in form. It is made on an unpatinated pale grey flake, which is slightly curved along its length. The arrowhead has been bi-facially worked, but one face has only received only light working. Green's (1985) typology defines the arrowhead as a type 4A.
