Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A particularly fine near complete flint leaf shaped arrowhead dating to the Neolithic c.4000-2400 cal BC. The arrowhead is made from a tertiary flake of dark grey flint that has occasional light grey patch inclusions. It has a semi glossy patina. The arrowhead can be described as a willow leaf shaped arrowhead. The base has damaged by an irregular break that runs diagonally upwards and to one side of the body that has also removed the base. Both surfaces of the arrowhead have medium length, low angled, invasive sub-parallel, then scaled, retouch. The arrowhead i…
