Description
English: An incomplete Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged flint arrowhead. This arrowhead has been knapped from a uniform grey coloured piece of flint. The arrowhead is broadly sub-triangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. It has been knapped using a number of different techniques, including direct and indirect percussion, as well as pressure / ripple / invasive flaking. It is unsymmetrical in shape with one barb being lost. The break is old and patinated suggesting damaged in antiquity. Both the long sides of the arrowhead have been retouched to create sharp edges - this retouch is best described as covering, scaled low angled. Similar flint barb and tanged arrowheads are associated with the Beaker phase of the Late / final Neolithic and Early Bronze Age c. 2500-1500BC. This example fits into the sub-classification of Fancy B&T arrowheads best described as Conygar Hill types (Butler 2005: 162-165 fig 68, after Green: 1980). This example is best described as being relatively small and having a tang which is squared off with slightly rounded barbs, which are shorter than the tang.

The arrowhead measures 18.2mm in length,16.95mm maximum width, is 4mm thick and weighs 0.77 grams.
