Record ID: PUBLIC-B59ED8
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published
An exquisite barbed and tanged arrowhead, complete except for the missing extreme tip. It has been pressure flaked over its surface; mostly transversely except for a little of the original blank remaining on both sides of the tang.The flint used is of translucent brown with cream flecks. Pebbles are available locally from the beach but it is hard to imagine that an imported nodule of Devon flint was not used, given the large and often wasteful use of it in this find-spot. Bond(2004), page 125, fig 5.111 gives this arrowhead a 'Conygar d' classification.
