Object type: POINT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible flint point dating to the period 8500 BC to 3000 BC. The object is leaf-shaped in plan with a small triangular nick in the side. One side of the object is very irregular although this may be damage rather than intentional. The other side of the object is smooth and the bulb of percussion is apparent towards the curved short side. There is some possible retouching along one side although this is not clear. Leaf shaped arrowheads are used during the Neolithic period and while this example is the right shape, it is a little thicker than expected.
