Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A leaf-shaped arrowhead formed on a mottled grey coloured coarse flint or possibly chert of probable Neolithic date (2900 - 2150 BC). The arrowhead is lentoid (sub-rectangular) in plan and lentoid in cross section. Both faces of the arrowhead have been pressure (ripple) flaked with a series of small neat narrow facets. Much of this rippled surface has been flaked with much skill (especially given the poor nature of the flint). Both long edges exhibit areas of secondary flaking or retouch and has been applied to both faces . Beneath the ripple flaking older transverse thinning scars ar…

County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A thin lenticular section bifacially worked piece of cream flecked grey brown flint. Pressure flaking has covered both sides with flake scars. The plan has bilateral symmetry with a transverse snap.The edge is nearly straight and the arrowhead may have snapped in use or at very close to completion whilist trying to remove a long flake. The pointed end is missing leaving the base of what would have been a pair shaped leaf arrowhead. Other leafs and transverse types are found nearby.

A thin lenticular section bifacially worked leaf-shaped arrowhead of cream flecked grey-brown flint. Pressure flaking has partly covered both sides with flake scars. However a lot of the ventral side of the flake blank remains as do some of a pair of original dorsal scars.The edge is finished and nearly straight but the side view is almost banana shaped in profile as the knapper has had to fight the natural shape of a struck flake and not done enough to totally remove its form. The arrowhead is complete and of a pleasing symmetrical leaf shape. It appears that it was surplus and not s…

A thin lenticular section bifacially worked leaf-shaped arrowhead of cream and very light grey-brown flint. Pressure flaking has partly covered both sides with flake scars. However a lot of the ventral side of the flake blank remains as does the dorsal surface which interestingly is the completely ground finish of an axe .The edge is straight with several simple bold notches towards the butt, perhaps to aid hafting. The leaf tip is completed with a flourish and is convex on one side and concave on the other in plan; much like a real leaf. Less than 30 metres away another flake fom a l…

County: Powys

A complete leaf shaped arrowhead dating to the early Neolithic period, (circa 3500-2500 BC). The arrowhead is lozenge (pointed oval) in shape and lentoid in cross section. The dorsal and ventral faces of the arrowhead have been extensively and delicately worked with neat well-formed pressure / ripple flakes. There are no visible signs of use. The flint is a poor quality mottled pale grey colour with fine orange veins passing through it. The selection of the flint with this distinctive vein could represent a deliberate aesthetic choice. This example fits well with leaf shaped arrowhead…

A complete but abraded leaf-shaped arrowhead of probable Neolithic date (2900 - 2150 BC). The arrowhead is formed on a mid-grey coloured tertiary flint flake; both the dorsal and ventral faces are extensively retouched. The arrowhead is lentoid or pointed oval (an irregular pentagon) in plan and lentoid in cross section. The butt of the arrowhead and one long edge have been lost through abrasion in the ploughsoil. The flake upon which this arrowhead has been formed has been trimmed and extensively reworked removing any trace of striking platform or bulb of percussion. In profile the a…

A complete leaf shaped flint arrowhead of probable earlier Neolithic date (4000 - 2700 BC) formed on a tertiary flake. The arrowhead is ogival / lentoid (a diamond shaped lozenge) in plan and lentoid in cross section. The arrowhead has been knapped from a mottled light-grey to brown flint which is opaque in places. Both faces of the flint show invasive, scaled, low angled retouch, with one face showing a slight scar, probably caused by a plough or similar machinery. The form is similar in shape to Green's Class 3B or 4B The arrowhead measures 26.5mm length, 14.9mm width, is 2.6mm t…

A leaf arrowhead, dark grey and brown in colour, which has been bi-facially retouched and is a formalised tool Both lateral margins of the dorsal face exhibit continuous retouch of low angle which borders on invasive and possesses a scaled morphology. This retouch is repeated on the ventral face. The tool appears to have been snapped at the left margin and proximal end intersect on the dorsal face. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on p133, Fig 5.119, F36 which dates to the Early Neolithic.

Early Neolithic Leaf shaped Arrowhead. Invasive retouch dorsal ansd ventral sides. Semi-abrupt retouch ventral side. Bulb of percussion visible. Dark Grey flint. Notch on right mesial, possibly from later damage. Dr Kevin Leahy feels some concern over the section of this object and believes that it might be better seen as a knife.

A particularly fine near complete flint leaf shaped arrowhead dating to the Neolithic c.4000-2400 cal BC. The arrowhead is made from a tertiary flake of dark grey flint that has occasional light grey patch inclusions. It has a semi glossy patina. The arrowhead can be described as a willow leaf shaped arrowhead. The base has damaged by an irregular break that runs diagonally upwards and to one side of the body that has also removed the base. Both surfaces of the arrowhead have medium length, low angled, invasive sub-parallel, then scaled, retouch. The arrowhead i…
