  • Thumbnail image of DOR-E6EC02

Record ID: DOR-E6EC02
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…

Record ID: SWYOR-F16BC8
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.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: City of Stoke-on-Trent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
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.

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.

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

Flint leaf arrowhead fragment, triangular in plan and rod shaped in profile. The right margin has a finely serrated edge. The proximal end is snapped. The ventral side has some retouching on the end. It is dark grey brown with pale flecks in colour. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 127, Fig. 55, No. L80 which is dated to the Neolithic period.

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A mid-brown flint flake, probably a blank from an unfinished leaf-shaped arrowhead of Neolithic date. It has invasive removals on the ventral surface at the proximal end, which have removed the bulb and form a crude leaf-shaped point. Further slight abrupt edge-retouch curving around the distal end can be interpreted as a platform from which invasive pressure flakes could have been removed. The leaf-shaped form of the blank and the curving retouched platform around the distal end indicate that a leaf-shaped arrowhead was most likely the intended product; leaf-shaped arrowheads date f…

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Complete leaf shaped arrowhead dating to the Early Neolithic period. Formed on the middle of a large thin blade or flake, the bulb of percussion was at the point and has been removed by retouch. The hafting end is snapped but the sides and point are retouched on both faces. On the ventral face the retouch is parallel to semi-parallel, semi-invasive and shallow. On the dorsal face it is shorter becoming long only in places, including by the point, scalar and more semi-abrupt. There is a chip on the left edge (looking from the dorsal face) near the point. It is 25.9mm long by 16.6mm wid…

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
About 80% of a leaf shaped arrowhead, missing the point to an old break, dating to the Early Neolithic period. Both faces are covered by invasive, shallow, parallel retouch done by pressure flaking. There are patches of cortex on both sides near the butt and a further patch in the upper corner on one side, in all about 15% of the surface. The break at the point is a hinge fracture suggesting an accidental break. The flint is mid grey flint with paler areas and mottling. It is 19.9mm long, 18.6mm wide and 3.2mm thick; it weighs 1.27 grams.
