#Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead

A happy #Valentines Day to all those who celebrate!

Cupid may typically be depicted with heart-tipped arrows, but we feel he'd look even cooler 'rocking' this #Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead from our excavations on the @leescourtestate last year!

This beautiful arrowhead would have been formed by pressure flaking the flint, likely using antler to form the shape we see today!
