Chisel shaped arrowhead with tranchet sharpened end. Arrowheads of this type were popular in both the Late Mesolithic and Late Neolithic but given the other material in the assemblage the former date appears most likely. Formed on a large flake with the bulb of percussion removed. The ventral face is plain apart from some chipping and some shallow long scalar retouch at the hafting end of the left edge. On the dorsal face the left and right edges both have long abrupt scalar retouch along their length becoming invasive at the hafting end. The blade end has been sharpened with a large …

Flint arrowhead, almost leaf shaped in plan and biconvex in profile. It has bifacial invasive retouching. The distal end has been snapped off and it appears to have been formerly a leaf arrowhead. The arrowhead is brown grey with cream flecks. Mercer (1981) illustrated a similar example on page 127, Fig.55, No.L86 which is dated to the Neolithic period.

Elongate, roughly triangular, transverse arrowhead. Mid grey flint with a small patch of pebble cortex on the dorsal surface. Mid gloss patina. There is a small striking platform at the proximal end and traces of a bulb on percussion on the ventral face. The dorsal face is extensively flaked along a central spine and pressure flaked along all three edges. The ventral face is less flaked. The longest side would have been the leading edge of the arrow.

Flint transverse arrowhead dating to the late Neolithic. The arrowhead has two pressure flaked worked edges that meet at a right angle, with working on both faces of the arrowhead. The arrowhead is trianglar in shape with the shortest (worked) edge being straight and the other two edges having a slight curve. The arrowhead weighs 2.92g and measures 37mm in length, 25mm in width and 5.5mm in thickness.

County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A transverse arrowhead, probably of petit tranchet type (length: 20mm; width: 18mm; thickness: 6mm; weight: 2.02g). The narrower end is what the shaft would have been connected. There has been extensively knapping on all three sides apart from the narrow end to create a sharp edge. There are three principal types defined as transverse arrowheads defined by typological analysis. These are the petit tranchet, chisel and oblique types. It is uncertain when petit tranchets were first manufactured in Britain. Some may perhaps date to the Mesolithic period, but most of the Mesolithic site…

Pale grey flint with misty patina patches, possible transverse arrowhead. Sub-triangular flake of thin lentoid section. The dorsal side bears covering scalar retouch entailing the trimming of a few large thin flakes; the dorsal side bears a low bulb at one corner, trimmed by very short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect and here interpreted as the butt end of the arrowhead. The cutting edge is broken, probably recently. Suggested date: Late Neolithic, 2700-2350 BC. Length: 26.3mm, Width: 26.8mm, Thickness: 3.7mm, Weight: 2.45gms.

Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint transverse arrowhead, dating from the Late Neolithic. The remaining piece is sub-trapezoidal, with a break having occurred at the wider end. The arrowhead has been made from a tertiary flake or blade and has been formed by long, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch, with areas of short, abrupt retouch, including at the narrow end, which has been blunted to aid hafting. The heavily recorticated, white surface is indicative of deposition within an alkaline environment. Length: 27.8mm; width: 18.9mm; thickness: 5.3mm. Weight: 2.61g.
