ARROWHEAD

Unique ID: LEIC-15B572

Object type certainty: Probably
Workflow status: Published Find published

Neolithic flint oblique arrowhead.

Mid-brownish-grey semi-translucent patina. Secondary flake, pronounced bulb. Plain butt positioned on the top right side of the tip. Provisions in the form of notching and reduction for hafting are in exactly the right position on both laterals for this to have been a deliberate point or arrowhead. Retouched all over to shape (short, abrupt, stepped and scaler).
