Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Published
A flint transversarrowhead of Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (about 4000 BC - 1000 BC). The arrowhead is of a type once thought to have been used to stun prey rather than to kill it. It is formed on patinated mottled flint. It is a long flake which is rounded at the narrow proximal end, and square at the wider distal end. The proximal end has short, sub-parallel semi-abrupt retouch which forms the blunt point of the arrowhead. There is also short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch on both long edges as well as an area of damage which interrupts the patination on the right side. The fli…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A crude flint thumbnail scraper of probable Beaker period date (2400 - 2200 BC).
