Title
Neolithic flint leaf shaped arrowhead
Description
English: A Neolithic flint leaf shaped arrowhead, probably dating from the early part of the period, from circa 3500 to circa 2500 BC. The flint has been subject to invasive retouch around the edges, though the butt of the arrowhead has not been so extensively finished as the rest, perhaps as it was already sufficiently shaped to be easily attached to shaft. The flint is a pale brown to cream in colour, with some areas of white. It measures 27.45 mm long, 17.3 mm wide, 3.4 mm thick and weighs 1.3 grams.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Staffordshire
