A broken section of a Prehistoric, probable Late Neolithic - Early Bronze Age, knapped, sub-rectangular, convex/convex, now small size, variable pale grey and light brown blade or tertiary debitage. There are three dorsal, narrow blade beds with negative conchoidal ripples. There is a shallow bulb of percussion, small striking platform formed with a soft hammer on the ventral side and feint ripples. The distal section broken off probably by agricultural equipment and the odd side chip. This is likely to date 2500-1500BC. Refs. Detector Finds 5, Gordon Bailey, Greenlight Publishing 2002…

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Warrington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A mostly complete barbed and tanged arrowhead dating to the early Bronze Age (c.2400-1500 BC). This arrowhead has been knapped from a dark brown piece of flint and there is no cortex remaining. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan with sharp point and is lentoid in cross section. It is broadly symmetrical in shape, with two notches chipped into the base of the flint to separate the barbs and the tang, both barbs are small and blunt. Both the long sides of the arrowhead have been precisely retouched to create sharp edges. The object is bifacially worked sh…
