Summary

Bronze age (Early) flint barbed and tanged arrowhead

Title
Bronze age (Early) flint barbed and tanged arrowhead
Description
English: Bronze age (Early) flint barbed and tanged arrowhead, 49mm in length, 21mm in width and 7mm thick with a weight of 4.27grams.

The object is triangular in form with a flattened lozenge cross section and a grey-brown patina. It is bi-facially worked with covering scaled, low angle re-touch. It has a long rectangular tang with a flat base and one barb which is the same length as the tang and another which is just a slight rounded projection. This may be due to a repaired break?
