Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A barbed and tanged flint arrowhead, dating from the Early Bronze Age. The arrowhead has been made from a secondary flake-small patches of cortex remain-and is sub-triangular, the two notches cut into the bottom edge creating a central tang and two inward-curving barbs. The piece is bifacially worked, the retouch being covering, scaled and low angle. The flint is mid grey with a mottled blue surface in places. Length: 28.9mm; width: 24.6mm; thickness: 4.5mm. Weight: 2.56g.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint flake or possible blade, probably dating to the Neolithic period (c. 4000-2200 BC). The object is composed of a light grey flint that is sub-triangular in plan with a pointed tip at one end and a broken square edge at the other. A raised central ridge runs the length of the dorsal surface from tip to base from which the faces slant downwards either side towards the bladed edges. The edges are slightly rounded and may have been retouched. The ventral surface is curved and smooth. The flint measures 41mm in length, a maximum of 18mm in width and a maximum of 6mm in thickness.
