Material and Form

The arrowhead is a worked stone artefact. Transverse and chisel arrowhead forms are recognised for their purposeful shaping and functional cutting-edge design, demonstrating how prehistoric toolmakers transformed stone into specialised implements.

Neolithic Stone Age Context

The Neolithic, or New Stone Age, is widely associated with the development and refinement of ground, flaked and otherwise worked stone technologies. Across Britain, lithic tools form an important part of the archaeological record because they provide evidence of technical skill, resource use and changing tool traditions. A Neolithic arrowhead is therefore relevant to the study of prehistoric craftsmanship and the evolution of specialised stone implements.

It can be displayed as a standalone historical object or included in a wider collection of arrowheads, worked stone and early artefacts.
