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.

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…

An incomplete flint barbed-and-tanged 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 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. The …

Almost the entire arrowhead survives barringone side of the barbs. Both chip in one side has the same patination as the rest of the arrow indicating the damage occurred a long time ago, possibly before its deposition.

An incomplete knapped lithic object of likely middle Neolithic to early Bronze Age date (c. 2700-1600 BC). The object is an arrowhead, possibly linked to the transverse or chisel types. It is formed from a tertiary flake that is sub-triangular in plan. It is bifacially worked with invasive stepped semi-abrupt and low angle retouch present across the dorsal and ventral surfaces. The flint is a mottled mid-grey colour. Dimensions. Length: 29.58mm. Width: 28.31mm. Thickness: 5.83mm. Weight: 5.50g.

The object is sub-triangular, the dorsal face is slightly convex with covering parallel low angle retouch and short sub-parallel low angle retouch around all the edges. The ventral surface is slightly convex near the point then becomes slightly concave towards the proximal end due to a negative scar and percussion ripples. Reference: Green, H.S., 1980.

Arrowhead rough-out, a tertiary semi-soft hammer struck flake has been modified by invasive pressure flaking to form the general outline of a leaf shaped arrowhead, one side (the ventral face has been flaked to a much greater degree than the dorsal with removals from all edges towards the centre, the middle “blank” area is the original surface of the struck flake that the flakes haven’t been able to reach. The dorsal face has the point and base and one side invasively pressure flaked, mostly following the high points and the thicker areas of the flake as is usual duri…
