ARROWHEAD
Unique ID: NLM-090EB4
Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
White Patinated Flint
Possible Arrowhead. Leaf shaped flake with four flake removal scars on its dorsal aspect and a subsequent bulb of percussion on the ventral side. The oval form and flat profile could qualify this as an arrowhead, though if so, the point has been lost in antiquity, as its site is patinated along with the rest of the object. Suggested date: Neolithic, 3500-2100 BC.
Length: 23.2mm, Width: 17mm, Thickness: 3.1mm, Weight: 1.35gms.
