Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic unpatinated black flake, appears to be a possible sub-triangular arrowhead with transverse bending fractures to both the distal and proximal ends, this is usual damage for an arrow that has hit a hard surface. It is manufactured quickly from a flat secondary flake with a small patch of weathered cortex on the dorsal face towards the distal end and is only slightly retouched in places to correct the curvature and improve symmetry. 26 x 18 x 3 mm. Finder's no. 1.
