County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age barbed-and-tanged flint arrowhead. (2300-1500 BC). This arrowhead is asymmetrical in shape with one barb, most of the tang and the tip missing. It is sub-triangular in plan, pointed oval in cross-section and is light grey and semi-translucent with a reddish tinge. The arrowhead has been bi-facially knapped using a number of different techniques using percussion as well as pressure flaking.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Neolithic polished flint axehead (3500 BC-2100 BC). This axehead is narrow and slender. It is pointed oval in plan and side view. The upper half has been flaked on both sides and the lower half is polished. It is possible that the axehead was originally polished overall and may have been remodelled by flaking over the polished area. In plan and side view, the polished part tapers inwards towards the evenly curved cutting edge. Each side of the polished part has been flattened by polishing. This implement is mottled light grey and off-white. There is a modern chip on o…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged flint arrowhead (2150-1500 BC). This light grey flint arrowhead is convex on both sides. The tips of the point and barbs are missing. Both sides have been pressure flaked and one side has small areas of buff cortex. This arrowhead is similar to the group described within Butler (who is summarising Green's': Flint Arrowheads of the British Isles') and is best described as a fancy barbed and tanged arrowhead.
