Almost complete barbed and tanged arrowhead of Green. H, S, (1980) type Sutton b, closest in outline to examples i and j (page 122, fig. 45), of off-white patinated flint with the numerous small inclusions within the flint a mid-grey colour, one face has three small spots of rusty iron, probably from contact with agricultural machinery. One barb is nearly complete; possibly the tiny tip is missing, the other barb is chipped at the tip, this is an ancient break as one of the iron stains is on the surface of the break, the tang is broken obliquely but would have been little longer than t…

A later Neolithic flint arrowhead of oblique type struck from a tertiary flake of brown flint, c. 3000-2100 BC. The cross section is asymmetrical and triangular with a flat and a convex face. One long edge has retouch along what appears to be the line of a break to refine a blunted edge running to the sharp point. The base has long low angle sub parallel retouch and is slanted.

A large later Neolithic oblique arrowhead, 56.7mm in length, made from a struck tertiary flake of dark brown flint. The arrowhead is triangular with a long point and a single barb at the rear on one side which has a concave rear edge. There is an incomplete tang at the centre of the rear end. The long side with the barb has bifacial intrusive low angle scaled retouch all along it. The opposing long side feathers to a convex edge and is unworked.

A Neolithic flint point, probably an arrowhead of oblique type, 44.1mm in length and made from a struck tertiary flake of dark brown flint. The arrowhead is triangular with a long point which has been refined by fine abrupt retouch along one side of the tip and bifacially worked low angle and semi abrupt scaled retouch along the rest of the length of the blade. The rear end is slightly convex with a small patch of low angle scaled retouch, perhaps to blunt it for hafting.

An incomplete later Neolithic flint arrowhead, probably of oblique type. The arrowhead is triangular with one small barb and concave rear edge. The opposing corner of the rear has broken away, but probably had a longer second barb, although no trace now remains. The edges are bifacially worked with low angle scaled retouch. A patch of cortex remains on the dorsal surface.

An incomplete flint oblique or hollow-based arrowhead dating to the Late Neolithic, 3300 BC - 2200 BC. The arrowhead is 31mm in length, sub-triangular with a hollow base and struck from a tertiary flake of light grey flint. There is low-angle long scaled retouch around the base and long sides. The tip, which appears to have been worked from the proximal end of the flake, is damaged and now incomplete.

A flint arrowhead. A barbed and tanged type made on a tertiary flake of pale grey-brown flint. It has a glossy patina. A elongated triangular shape with a long central tang and short barbs. The notches forming the barbs are curved and relatively shallow. One face has invasive, scalar pressure flaking along both edges. The other face has some invasive pressure flaking but less regularly applied around a pre-exisiting deeper flake scar. There is slight damage to the tip.

An incomplete barbed and tanged arrowhead of Green, H.S. (1980) possible Sutton type dating to the Early Bronze Age c. 2500 - 1500 BC. The arrowhead appears to have been discarded mid knapping. The flint is glossy, mid to dark brown, with flake scars on the front surface, while the reverse has ripples and irregular scaring.  Barbed and Tanged arrowheads are associated with the Bronze Age Beaker Period, c. 2500 - 1500 BC and are usually found within Beaker burials. Measurements: Length: 30.48mm Width: 20.52mm Thickness: 5.38mm Weight: 2.09g. See Butler (2005) pg…

An incomplete flint Arrowhead of Bronze Age date (2500-1200 BC). The object is a barbed and tanged form and is sub-triangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The object has two semi-circular notches removed by pressure flaking, on the proximal edge. The notches create a sub-rectangular tang, projecting between them. The left-hand barb is missing. The dorsal surface retains a large amount of cortex and has short, scaled flaking along all edges. The ventral surface has short, scaled flaking along all edges. The flint is dark grey in colour, the cortex is light brown in col…

An almost complete barbed and tanged arrowhead of Green, H.S. (1980) Sutton type dating to the Early Bronze Age 2500 - 1500 BC. The barbs are incomplete, and the tip of the arrowhead is missing, otherwise the arrowhead is in good condition.  The flint is glossy, dark brown, both faces are completely covered with invasive pressure flaking scars that overlap in the middle of each face, a larger flake scar on one side may indicate trace of original flake blank which the arrowhead was knapped from. Barbed and Tanged arrowheads are associated with the Bronze Age Beaker Period, …

Almost a complete barbed and tanged arrowhead of Green, H.S. (1980) Green low type, though the barbs are around the same length as the tang (Green lows have longer barbs than the tang) the general form of the notches and the slightly drooping barbs fit within that group, there is a tiny amount of recent damage; one corner of the (rectangular) tang is missing as is the very tip if the point, otherwise it is in pristine condition, the flint is glossy, dark brown/grey with a very slight misty patination to parts of the surface, both faces are completely covered with invasive pressure flak…

Tertairy ?soft hammer struck flake with the bulb of percussion removed and neatly trimmed to a triangular shape by direct, steep percussion predominantly to the dorsal face, of slightly mottled dark grey flint with no patination. This is very likely to be an unfinished arrowhead, the profile is very straight for a struck flake, and the thickness is within the perfect range (4.6 mm), the trimming has evened out the curve already, the flake seems to have been worked into a blank then misplaced before the piece was extensively pressure flaked to its final shape, it is very likely this was…

Oblique arrowhead made from a tertiary flake of fairly thick cross section, of , of glossy unpatinated grey flint with a paler, coarse inclusion to one face, one lateral edge is left as struck and sharp, the opposing side is bifacially retouched to form a point, the retouch is hard hammer struck rather than pressure flaked, the base is asymmetrically retouched in the same manner, forming a slight barb to the shaper of the two sides. The point is damaged with a long, thin flake running down the edge of the point; this is most likely from being shot and the point encountering a hard surf…

Incomplete tiny leaf-shaped arrowhead, of Green, H. S. (1980) type 4 A, of slightly lighter patinated dark grey flint, the very tip of the base of this point is broken transversely. The dorsal face is very finely and invasively pressure flaked so some of the flake scars overlap at the centre of this face, the ventral face is hardly worked at all, just a few pressure fakes to form the point, this is probably due to the natural curvature of a struck flake; only flakes need to be removed from the curved parts as an arrowhead must be straight in profile to fly in a straight path, the …

An incomplete flint arrowhead dating to the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age c.2500-1500 cal BC. The arrowhead is made from a tertiary flake of flint. It has a slightly glossy surface and is predominantly a transluscent, light brown with a single grey inclusion. The arrowhead has a clean break across the base and the tip is also missing.. The surface is covered in scaled retouch. The arrowhead is 18.5mm long. It is 10.5mm wide (at the break) and 3mm thick and it weighs 0.49 grams. The damage to the arrowhead makes it difficult to type using Gre…

It has a slightly glossy surface and is predominantly white with grey inclusions and orange flecks. The arrowhead is missing the tip of one of its barbs, and the tip of the tang. The breaks expose the darker grey material inside the arrowhead which is surrounded by the white surface layer suggesting that they occurred more recently. Each surface is covered in scaled retouch.
