E6EC02. Neolithic arrowhead
Description
English: Flint leaf-shaped arrowhead of Late Neolithic date. Light grey-brown flint patinated to almost completely white with small patches of iron staining and a mid gloss surface. The arrowhead is roughly lozenge-shaped and is pressure flaked around the edges on both faces. The dorsal face retains traces of larger flaking scars and waves of percussion can be seen ventrally. The proximal point is slightly thickened over where the bulb of percussion would be. There is a small amount of recent damage along the edges.

This is a fairly coarsely made example of such arrowheads. Date: Late Neolithic Dimensions: 26.0 mm x 17.5 mm x 3.5 mm
