Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A chisel-ended type arrowhead made utilising a tertiary flint flake. Sub-triangular. The flint is opaque, mottled mid to dark grey with a low-gloss patina. The dorsal face is smooth and flat with short, scaled semi-abrupt retouch around the left and right margins with the broad tip showing removal of a transverse flake creating a chisel edge. The ventral face shows a slight bulb of percussion on the right side which has been worked with long scaled low angle retouch in attempt to reduce.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete tranchet or transverse arrowhead made on a reddish brown, semi-translucent tertiary flint flake. The flint has a mid-gloss patina with large matt patches and is sub-triangular in shape, one corner to the left where the retouch meets the cutting edge has been lost after manufacture, either through use or post-depositional damage. Both faces show invasive and semi-invasive, scaled, low-angle retouch extending along the left and the right sides and one blunt, rounded corner, leaving one angled sharp cutting edge unmodified.

Elongate, roughly triangular, transverse arrowhead. Mid grey flint with a small patch of pebble cortex on the dorsal surface. Mid gloss patina. There is a small striking platform at the proximal end and traces of a bulb on percussion on the ventral face. The dorsal face is extensively flaked along a central spine and pressure flaked along all three edges. The ventral face is less flaked. The longest side would have been the leading edge of the arrow.
