Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Flint leaf-shaped arrowhead of Late Neolithic date. Light grey-brown flint patinated to almost completely white with small patches of iron staining and a mid gloss surface. The arrowhead is roughly lozenge-shaped and is pressure flaked around the edges on both faces. The dorsal face retains traces of larger flaking scars and waves of percussion can be seen ventrally. The proximal point is slightly thickened over where the bulb of percussion would be. There is a small amount of recent damage along the edges. This is a fairly coarsely made example of such arrowheads. Date: Late Neolithi…

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oldham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint Early Neolithic Leaf arrowhead. The arrowhead is 26.5mm long, 18mm wide and 3.2m thick. It is a leaf shaped ogival arrowhead. It is bifacially worked and invasively retouched with scalar retouch. This would have taken much time and skill. The arrowhead would have been functional but may have been made for ceremony or show (Butler, 2005, Prehistoric Flintwork). The flint is mid brown in colour and is lightly patinated. Small chips of white quartz were also found in the area.

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Early Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead, knapped from mid to light brown flint. The arrowhead is an elongated leaf shape in plan with a lenticular cross section. The flint has been invasively retouched on both surfaces to create the leaf shape, and there is some abrupt retouch to the edges. The arrowhead has been snapped towards one end. It is 35.50mm long, 16.94mm wide, 4.29mm thick and weighs 3.01 grams.

A knapped flint leaf-shaped arrowhead dating from the Earlier Neolithic period (c.3500BC - c.2500BC). Length: 41.5mm. Width: 20.7mm. Thickness: 7.2mm. Mass: 6.0g. The arrowhead is pointed oval shaped in plan. The arrowhead is made from bifacially worked flint flake, which is brown in colour with some opaque light brown cortex-like inclusions visible on both faces. The tip at the distal end is pointed. There is a small nick in the tip at the proximal end, and it appears slightly more rounded than the distal tip. The arrowhead has invasive retouch on both the dorsal and the ventral face…

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A simple patinated flint leaf-shaped arrowhead of Neolithic date. It has bifacial working and is complete with the exception of a small break towards the proximal end probably as a result of post-depositional damage. The patinated flint is blue-grey in colour and the dorsal face has traces of cortex. It measures 35.85mm in length, 17.75mm in width, 4.30mm in thickness, and weighs 2.99g.

County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A leaf shaped arrowhead. A slightly irregular, elongated leaf shaped arrowhead, made from a flake of mid blue-grey flint which has patinated to a low-gloss very pale grey. The proximal end of the original flake remains slightly thicker than the distal The proximal end is broadest with the projectile point at the distal end. Both faces are extensively pressure flaked in a fairly neat and regular pattern. The pressure flaking is shallow and invasive. Date: Late Neolithic - 2500 BC - 2100 BC Dimensions: 39 mm x 19 mm x 5 mm Weight: 3 g

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Leaf-shaped flint arrowhead, typical of the earlier Neolithic. The arrowhead is formed on a tertiary flake and is highly worked. There is low-angle, scaled, covering retouch on both faces, removing any traces of a bulb and striking platform. There is a small notch missing towards one end, presumably the result of plough damage. The flint is grey in colour with several lighter patches. Length: 34.78mm, Width: 15.56mm, Thickness: 3.59mm Weight: 1.83g
