Record ID: DOR-5A6D0B
Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find 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. Date: Late Neolithic 3300 to 2350 BC Dimensi…

Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A complete flint transverse arrowhead of Neolithic date. It is struck from an orange/brown flint and is roughly triangular in form, flaring towards one end. Both edges and the narrow end have invasive semi-abrupt and scaled retouch, while the flaring chisel shaped point is formed from the removal of two transverse flakes. This object measures 35.96mm in length, 28.99mm in width, 5.05mm in thickness, and 4.21g in weight. It is of Late Neolithic date, c.2700-2550 BC.

County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A transverse arrowhead which has been bi-facially retouched and is a formalised tool. The dorsal face exhibits invasive retouch possessing a scaled morphology. The right margin of the dorsal face exhibits continuous retouch with a low angle and is of long type extent. This style of retouch is repeated on the left margin but is only partially distributed. This tool is uniformly brown in colour. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on p142, Fig 5.128, F130 which dates to the Late Neolithic.

A transverse arrowhead, mid-brown in colour with cream inclusions, which has been bi-facially retouched and is a formalised tool. The right margin of the dorsal face exhibits partial retouch with a semi-abrupt angle and is of long type extent. This style of retouch is repeated at the proximal end but is continuous in distribution. Deep grooves are in evidence on the left area of the dorsal face. The left margin of the ventral face exhibits continuous retouch of abrupt angle and is of long type extent, possibly as an aid to hafting. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on p1…

A transverse arrowhead, mid-brown in colour, which has been bi-facially retouched and is a formalised tool. The left margin of the dorsal face exhibits continuous retouch of abrupt angle and long type extent. A notch has also been created along the cutting edge. Similar retouch is in evidence on both lateral margins of the ventral face. Retouch on the lower area of the lateral margins on both faces is more abrupt in angle which would allow for hafting. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on p142, Fig 5.128, F133 which dates to the Late Neolithic.

Pale grey semi-translucent flint possible oblique or transverse arrowhead; chipped. A thin flake with broad flakes trimmed from its dorsal side and a prominent bulb on its ventral surface, here taken to have served as the butt end of an arrowhead.

Flint possible transverse arrowhead. Thin sub-triangular flake with broad flakes trimmed from uits dorsal side and with a bulbar ventral surface. The bulb would serve as the butt in the use proposed. A dense creamy patina suggests the object was subsequently exposed to a calcareous environment, a common feature of flint reported hereabouts, though unrelated to the local geology. Suggested date: Late Neolithic, 2500-2350 BC Length: 20.0mm, Width: 22.2mm, Thickness: 5.6mm, Weight: 3.06gms

Grey semi-translucent flint, transverse or chisel arrowhead, as kindly identified by the finder. A triangular flake with broad flakes struck from its ?dorsal side and an undulating ?ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch from what is here taken as the ventral aspect follows a wavy long edge to form a cutting edge with the probable site of a bulb as the butt opposite it. Patches of patina may suggest the limited exposure – on one side only [the ?ventral] – of the object to a calcareous environment.

A flint transverse arrowhead dating from the late Neolithic, about 3300 BC - 2200 BC. It is formed on a segment of a tertiary blade, light grey in colour with a large white inclusion. One edge of the blade forms the transverse cutting edge which has some edge damage. One side is snapped between two retouched notches. The other has some short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch. The short side at the proximal end has short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch from the ventral face. It is 22.6mm long, 24mm wide and 3.7mm thick. 1.76g.

Dark grey flint possible transverse arrowhead. A small triangular flake with broad and narrow flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at the butt end of its ventral surface. A slightly overhanging cutting edge would serve as the blade of the putative arrowhead. The lack of patina may hint at its subsequent inclusion in a sealed context. Suggested date: possibly Late Neolithic, 2500-2350 BC Length: 16.5mm, Width: 17.5mm, Thickness: 4.1mm, Weight: 1.16gms

Flint transverse arrowhead. Thin sub-triangular flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side with a bulbar ventral surface. A crescentic chip appears in what is taken to be the straight cutting edge thus defined; apparently formed by very short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect. Dense white patina suggests the object subsequently endured prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment. Suggested date: Late Neolithic, 2500-2350 BC Length: 24.4mm, Width: 26.4mm, Thickness: 3.9mm, Weight: 2.09gms

Toffee-coloured flint possible transverse arrowhead. A small triangular flake with a rounded dorsal surface with one flake detached by hard hammer strike to form a cutting edge along its longest side. The ventral surface is gently undulating. Patches of misty patina may suggest limited subsequent exposure to a calcareous environment.

Pale grey-buff flint possible transverse arrowhead; the finder kindly suggests this to be a petit tranchet arrowhead, though there is no sign of a cutting edge formed by a single blow as this definition would require. A small thin flake with covering angled scalar retouch across both sides. The orientation of the object if it were to serve as an arrowhead is uncertain. Suggested date: Late Neolithic, 2500-2350 BC Length: 16.5mm, Width: 18.1mm, Thickness: 2.4mm, Weight: 0.86gms.

Grey semi-translucent flint possible oblique or transverse arrowhead. A thin sub-triangular flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and a slightly concave ventral surface with a bulb at one end, which is chipped, probably recently.

Grey translucent flint of good quality, probable transverse arrowhead. Trapezoid flake with broad flakes struck from its ventral side and with a bulb on the dorsal. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect - unusually - follows one straight edge, complementing the initial working from the other side and providing a sharp cutting edge (if oriented as illustrated).

A late Neolithic flint chisel arrowhead dating to 3300 BC - 2350 BC. Transverse type (bladed, not pointed; edge formed by a tranchet blow) Made from a broad tertiary flake, it is triangular, the dorsal face shows short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch to the left and right side margins with the broad tip showing removal of a transverse flake creating a chisel edge. The flint is semi-opaque and dark grey with a mid-gloss patina. The ventral face shows rippling and fissures emanating from the left side, but no apparent bulb.
