Title
Barbed and Tanged Arrowhead 2
Description
English: Two incomplete well-knapped flint barbed and tanged arrowheads dating from the late Neolithic to middle Bronze Age (c. 2500-c. 1150 BC). The arrowheads have been bifacially worked and sub-triangular in plan, with two notches in the base between the central tang and a barb at either side. Both arrowheads have one completely missing barb, with some damage to the central tang. The arrowhead has invasive shallow scaler retouch on both faces, however one arrowhead has an unretouched area in the centre of one face. The flint is of a light grey colour for both, with one arrowhead possessing a darker colour to the grey flint with a lighter coloured patina in places. One arrowhead measures 22.35mm long, 21.11mm wide and 4.80mm thick, weighing 1.63g. The other arrowhead measures 21.62mm long 16.71mm wide and 3.14mm thick and weighs 1.16g.

In "Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics", Bond (2004, p.205) comments that the date range for barbed and tanged arrowheads is taken to be implicated, in Wessex in particular, with the onset of the Beaker cultural phase but also continues in use through the Early Bronze Age into the Middle Bronze Age.
