Title
Late neolithic or early bronze age barbed and tanged arrowhead (front, profile, reverse)
Description
English: A knapped flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the late Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age. Mass: 1.3g. Length: 22.1mm; width: 17.8mm. Thickness: 4.2mm. The arrowhead is bifacially worked and sub-triangular in plan, with two notches in the basal and proximal area, between a central tang and a barb at either side. The arrowhead has invasive retouch on both faces, although this is absent from the central area of one face. There is a very small notch in the point. The barbed and tanged arrowhead is similar to Green's Sutton b type (i) (see Green, 1980, "The Flint Arrowheads of the British Isles", fig 45). 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 with the onset of the Beaker cultural phase but also can continue into in use through the Early Bronze Age into the Middle Bronze Age. As such, the barbed and tanged arrowhead recorded here dates from the late Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age (c. 2500BC - c.1150BC).
