Record ID: SF-D1A176
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead re-utilising earlier patinated flake tool (probably Mesolithic). Extremely simple unpatinated retouch, very steep and vertical, limited to edges only. End of tip missing, tang is very slight and sub-triangular. 24.64mm in length and 25.73mm in width. Although flint barbed and tanged arrowheads are a diagnostic early Bronze Age type the unusual nature of the edge working (possibly make by pliers?) and the form (particularly triangular) may suggest a more modern creation and working, perhaps by the Brnadon gun-flint knappers of the 19th and ear…

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small leaf-shaped flint arrowhead, with small amounts of iron stain forming on the dorsal side. There is some patina on the right side of the dorsal side. On the ventral side there is a completely flat face; there are three clear faces on the dorsal. The point is broken off and there is a small chip in the left cutting edge, when looking at the dorsal face. The very deliberate leaf shape leads to the conclusion that this is an arrowhead rather than a microlith, and the date of Later Neolithic is suggested by a similar example, albeit more damaged, in Bond (2004, 142; ref. F140).

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A barbed and tanged flint arrowhead, probably Late Neolithic in date (based on the most similar examples in Bond (2004, 147; ref. 180). One barb is broken with the point missing. The tang is relatively thick (6.9mm) and appears off centre due to a small chip. The point of the head is also snapped off.
