Title
Early Neolithic Leaf shaped arrowhead
Description
English: A flint leaf shaped arrowhead which probably dates from the Early Neolithic period. The arrowhead is 31.7mm long, 19.3mm wide and 4.7mm thick. It is a kite-shaped form, meaning it is the same shape at both ends. It is invasively retouched on both faces to shape it precisely. This would have required great skill. Although this type of arrowhead is sometimes found in Late Neolithic and Bronze Age contexts, there is no evidence to suggest that they were used after the middle Neolithic (Butler 2005). The flint is completely patinated and is white and brown in colour.
