County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete barbed and tanged flint arrowhead of Early Bronze Age dating (c. 2500 BC to c. 1500 BC). Approximately 95% of the arrowhead is present, with the tang and tip being incomplete. The arrowhead has been knapped from a dark grey coloured piece of flint. It is broadly sub-triangular in shape and lentoid in cross section. The tang is incomplete and the surviving barbs are sub triangular. The arrowhead has been knapped using both direct and indirect percussion techniques. Both long sides / edges of the arrowhead have been finely retouched to create sharp edges. The retouch…

Lilly Chitty Collection An Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged arrowhead (2,500 to 1,500 BC), dark grey in colour. This piece is sub-triangular in plan and sub-elliptical in section. The seventh of 10 pieces, the number "7" is written in brio on a small label stuck to the ventral face of this piece. Most likely to be attributed to the Conygar Hill typology of barbed and tanged arrowheads, this small piece has been bificially worked and is missing one of its barbs. The remaining barb is squared yet slightly rounded, and it can be assumed that the missing opposing barb would have s…

Lilly Chitty Collection An Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged arrowhead (2,500 to 1,500 BC), light grey in colour. This piece is sub-triangular in plan and sub-rectilinear in section. A comparatively coarsely-made piece to the other of these 10 (of which this is the last, with the number "10" written in biro on the ventral face), this piece is probably of the Beaker period, spanning the first few centuries of the Bronze Age. The one edge has been ripple-flaked quite neatly, whereas the other has not been - this could have been a utilised flake. The better-worked edge has a neate…

Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged flint arrowhead. This arrowhead has been knapped from a dark brown piece of flint. It is sub-triangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. The arrowhead has been knapped using a number of different techniques, including direct and indirect percussion, as well as pressure / ripple flaking. It is asymmetrical in shape with the point and both barbs being damaged. Much of this damage has happened relatively recently. The arrowhead has been worked bi-facially; both the sides (ventral and dorsal) of the arrowhead have been retouched to create sharp edge…

The flint is a tertiary flake as all of the cortex has been removed. It has been knapped using a number of different techniques, with evidence of pressure flaking along all sides and multi-directional retouch on both ve…
