Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Beaker period barbed and tanged arrowhead of semi-translucent fine quality flint with no rough inclusions, now patinated an attractive orange colour. The piece is missing both barbs and the tip with some minor damage to both lateral edges. All breaks appear to be ancient. This is unfortunate as the shape of the barbs are the defining characteristic for Green's typology (1980). Both faces are competently pressure flaked with overlapping flake scars. Although fragmentary it is likely to belong to Conygar Hill, Sutton, or Green Low types of arrowhead. 2300-1700 BC. Measu…

Barbed and tanged arrowhead. Sutton type, with pointed barbs and rounded tang, the point is intact.
