Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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.

A small, sub-circular thumbnail scraper. Made on a tertiary flake of grey and white mottled flint with a milky, low gloss patina. It has a small striking platform at the proximal end. A low bulb of percussion with a large bulbar scar and faint waves of percussion on the ventral face. The dorsal face has several flake removal scars. It has been neatly shaped into a sub-circualr working edge with invasive, semi-abrupt retouch around most of the margin apart from the striking platform.

There is a low bulb of percussion and a small striking platform at the proximal end and faint waves of percussion on the ventral face.

Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead. Made on a flake of light brown flint. The faces have mid-gloss surfaces. The triangular arrowhead has been made laterally across a thin, broad flake which is slightly twisted. There are waves of percussion on the ventral face. There is semi-invasive retouch on the margins, forming a blunt point at the apex. At the base one of the notches is partially worked but incomplete, leaving it quite shallow. In forming the other notch the side has broken off, shearing from the centre of the notch to a point around two thirds along the margin on t…

A crudely bifacially worked flint dagger. The tang is parallel sided, unblunted and expands abrubptly into an irregular "laurel leaf" blade. The lateral profine is lentoid. There is haphazard soft hammer flaking over the surfaces and some retouch to refine the cutting edges. The cutting edges remain somewhat irregular and slightly sinuous. The longitudinal profile is thick and irregular. Made on a large, probably secondary flake (there is a very small patch of cortex near the tip on one face). There are remnants of a deep ripple scar on what was the ventral face of the flake. There is…
