Neolithic Leaf Shaped Arrowhead

This finely crafted leaf-shaped arrowhead has been displayed in a glass dome bell jar and dates to the Neolithic period, approximately 6,000 years ago. Made from flint using skilled pressure-flaking techniques, the piece reflects the early development of human tool-making and the transition from nomadic hunting to settled agricultural life.

Its symmetrical, tapering form would have been hafted to a wooden shaft for use in hunting game or possibly in conflict. The flaked edges remain sharp and precise, highlighting the sophistication of prehistoric craftsmanship and the practical artistry of early human societies.

A tactile link to the ingenuity of our Neolithic ancestors, both a functional object and a symbol of human adaptation and survival.

This type of arrowhead is characterised by its elongated, symmetrical leaf shape and finely flaked edges—hallmarks of advanced Neolithic flint-knapping techniques. Such tools were typically used for hunting and may have also served as weapons or status items within early agricultural communities.

The Neolithic period marked a major shift in human history, with the rise of farming, permanent settlements, and increasingly specialised tools. This arrowhead embodies the technical skill and evolving lifestyles of early societies adapting to a changing world.
