An almost complete, early Bronze Age flint barbed and tanged arrow head dating to the period c. BC2700 - 1000. The arrowhead is sub-triangular in shape with convex sides. One barb is incomplete but the notches are clearly visible. It is made on a tertiary flake and extensively retouched. This retouch is invasive, scaled and low angle on both faces. The flint is light brown and is translucent in places around the edges. 90% of the object has a heavy white patination. Length 20.54mm, width 16.14mm, thickness 3.16mm, weight 0.80g Similar objects can be seen on the database at:…

Copper alloy arrowhead, of barbed and tanged form, now missing a barb and much of the outer edges, the tip is slightly bent, this is probably recent damage from agricultural machinery as it has lost some of its surface and a small patch of bare metal is just visible to one side. Both faces have a median ridge (some are cast with a ridge only on one side and are flat on the other side), this broadens out to a tang with a sub-rectangular section, both lateral edges are bevelled to sharpen the edges. This example is part of a growing corpus of copper-alloy Bronze Age arrowheads from…

An incomplete copper-alloy Bronze Age arrowhead, dating to 2500-1500 BC. It is barbed and tanged, having one of the barbs broken off; both faces have a low mid ridge, which flattens towards the tang. The tang is rounded at the base and the overall cross-section of the arrowhead is slightly lozengiform. It has relatively crude notches between the tang and barbs, and it might have been poorly cast. Early Bronze Age metalwork often follows earlier and contemporary lithic forms and these examples are no exception, paralleling the more common 'barbed and tanged' flint arrowheads. Cf LEI…

Bronze Age flint tanged arrowhead. Made on flint, light greyish-brown opaque patina. A rudimentary arrowhead made on a flake. Butt located on upper right edge. Tang has been created by truncation on the left and crossed flaking on the right. The lower right edge is shaped by retouch (inverse, parallel, abrupt, short). The left side of the tip is created by an angled removal whereas the right is created by the platform.

Bronze Age flint arrowhead. Made on a tertiary flake, light grey opaque patina. Similar to barbed and tanged technology. A single sharp pointed barb on the right, created by abrupt, pressure-flaked retouch and notching. The left edge is retouched (sub-parallel, short, semi-abrupt) from the tip. Base shaped by abrupt, crossed retouch to produce a thin tang-like base for hafting.

County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy arrowhead or spearhead of the Bronze Age date (2500-1200 BC). The tip and socket of the object are missing and the retained portion consists of the central body. There is a central ventral and dorsal rib. An insufficient portion of the arrowhead/spear remains to prove diagnostic, therefore a specific type cannot be attributed. The metal is a dark brown in colour with a pitted patina. Length: 15.02mm, Width: 13.78mm, Thickness: 6.03mm, Weight: 3.6g.

Complete barbed and tanged arrow head of early Bronze Age date c.2200-1800 BC. The arrow head is of a light grey opaic flint of unpatinated dark grey flint with paler inclusions. It is ogival in plan and the face is covered by hammer struck retouch marks. The left-hand tang (when viewed from the dorsal face, point up) has been broken and reworked resulting in a minor discrepancy between barb lengths, or it is just difficulty with working a rather thick part of the initial flake blank. The point also appears to have been broken with no reworking. Length: 16.41mm, Width: 16.8mm, Thickn…

Early to middle Bronze age flint barbed and tanged arrow head, c. 21mm long and wide. The flint is triangular in form and sub rectangular in cross section. It has a pale brown colour and both barbs and tang appear to be intact, though it appears to be missing its tip. The surface has shallow invasive re-touch over its entire surface.

A near-complete early Bronze Age barbed and tanged flint arrowhead, dating to the period c. 2200 - 1500 BC. The arrowhead has been made from a tertiary flake of light grey-blue flint now patinated to a cream colour with orange/brown iron staining. The tang and both barbs survive and retouch is evident of both the distal and dorsal surfaces. There is an area of damage to one side of the arrowhead, possibly caused through contact with another stone/ rock in the watery environment in which it was found.

A small copper alloy barbed and tanged arrowhead, 20mm in length, of probable Middle - Late Bronze Age date (c. 1300 - 800 BC). The arrowhead has considerable abrasion and loss to the blade edges and tip, however it is clearly of triangular form. The cross sectional profile is flat, slightly elliptical but without a prominent midrib. The trapezoidal tang is splayed and relatively wide (6.5mm) compared to the overall width of the head (12.6mm).

Incomplete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the Beaker period (c.2500-1500 BC). The arrowhead is triangular in plan: 27 mm in length, 23.5 mm in width at the base, 4 mm thick and weighs 2.4 g. The pointed tip is missing. Both faces have been thinned by the removal of many small, shallow, invasive pressure-flakes. Two notches have been formed by pressure flaking at the base of the triangle, to form the tang and two barbs, and the two notches carefully shaped by further pressure flaking. The two barbs have obliquely shaped ends and the tang is square, placing the arrowhead …
