ARROWHEAD

Unique ID: SF-486481

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

An incomplete, well made and patinated flint barbed and tanged arrowhead. One barb is now missing due to an old break. This arrowhead has unpatinated retouch along the incomplete edge. As barbed and tanged arrowheads date from the early Bronze Age the retouch was presumably done somewhat later in the Bronze Age.
