Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Late Neolithic flint oblique arrowhead (2700 BC-2351 BC). This arrowhead has been made on a broken tertiary flake. The dorsal face has been retouched at each side edge and the removals are short and invasive, scaled and low angled. The ventral face has conchoidal ripples and one edge has been retouched. These removals are short parallel and low angled. The break forms one side and it would seem that the flake was chosen in order to take advantage of the break to form a side. A short length of the broken edge has been worked. Consequently, the implement is not a bro…
