Title
A Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead dating between 4000-2200 BC.
Description
English: A flint leaf-shaped arrowhead (length: 24.7mm; width: 17.2mm; thickness; 5mm; weight: 1.79g) with a possibly broken straight end and pointed tip. The surface of both sides has been pressure-flaked with knapping on the curved sides of the lenticular cross-section , working from the centre and projecting outwards. There is a substantial amount of trimmed working along the edges and pointed tip.

Leaf-shaped pressure-flaked arrowheads are the high point of the earlier English Neolithic flint industry. They usually have a flat or lenticular cross-section and are asymmetrical in shape, with the most common form having a rounded base and a roughly triangular tip (Whittle, 1977, page 75).
