Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint arrowhead. A barbed and tanged type made on a tertiary flake of pale grey-brown flint. It has a glossy patina. A elongated triangular shape with a long central tang and short barbs. The notches forming the barbs are curved and relatively shallow. One face has invasive, scalar pressure flaking along both edges. The other face has some invasive pressure flaking but less regularly applied around a pre-exisiting deeper flake scar. There is slight damage to the tip.

A low bulb of percussion with a large bulbar scar and faint waves of percussion on the ventral face. The dorsal face has several flake removal scars. It has been neatly shaped into a sub-circualr working edge with invasive, semi-abrupt retouch around most of the margin apart from the striking platform.

A rounded flint scraper made on an elongate, secondary flake. The flint is mottled mid-dark grey and has a mid-gloss patina. The dorsal surface has a central ridge of chalky nodule cortex remaining amidst several broad flake scars. At the distal end is a deep hinge fracture scar suggesting derivation from an opposed-end core. The distal end has irregular steep scaled and sub-parallel retouch, forming, what would probably originally have been a rounded scraping edge. This has been altered on one side by a deep edge-impact (or less possibly) a failed attempt to r…

A rounded scraper made on a thick, secondary flake of Portland chert. The chert is mid-grey with a mid-gloss patina. The dorsal face carries two areas of limestone cortex and two earlier flake scars. There is steep, scaled semi-invasive retouch around 50-60% of the distal end and sides creating a rounded scraping edge.

A crude flint end scraper. Made on a tertiary flake of  patchy grey flint. It has a matt patina. There is a low bulb of percussion and a small striking platform at the proximal end and faint waves of percussion on the ventral face.

A thumbnail scraper of Late Neolithic ro Early Bronze Age date (Beaker period) c 2400 BC - 2200 BC. Made on a sub-oval tertiary flake of semi-translucent, mid-brown flint with a mid-gloss patina. The scraper is now completely covered in a smooth layer of off-white speckled recortification with a very dense area in the centre of the dorsal face. The dorsal face shows covering, scaled, abrupt retouch across the central area with very fine scaled retouch to all margins. The ventral face shows no apparent bulb of percussion indicating probable use of a soft hammer. Date: Late Neolithic …

An incomplete large flint barbed and tanged arrowhead. Part of one tang is missing and the scar is repatinated or lost and reworked during manufacture. Both faces show covering, low angle, scaled pressure flaking. The tip is rounded but is covered in re-cortification indicating it was made this way. An area of modern damage reveals the flint is opaque, mid orangey brown but is now completely covered in a smooth layer of blue-white mottled re-cortification giving a low-gloss patina. One face show large patches of ferrous iron staining. Date: Middle Bronze age 1600 BC to 1000 BC. Dime…
