Title
Early Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead
Description
English: An Early Neolithic (c. 3500-2500 BC) leaf-shaped flint arrowhead, measuring 42.39x22.51x7.47mm and weighing 5.40g. The tip is possibly damaged.

The arrowhead is leaf-shaped in plan with one pointed end and one rounded end. It has had long flake removals from the dorsal face and edge retouch to both dorsal edges and the upper right ventral edge. It is plano-convex in cross-section.

There are also traces of retouch along the dorsal proximal edge, which would have been hafted into the implement. The flint is a mottled grey in colour with patination spots.
