RETURN TO PAGE 3

   These three arrow points were found on

sites in northern Europe. The point in the

middle was collected on the island of Lolland

in Denmark and the point on the right is also

from Denmark. They date to the Neolithic

period and were probably made sometime

before 2200 B.C. They were all made from

blades struck from prepared cores. The

blades were then pressure flaked into three

sided points. The points on the left and right

have tip damage that may be the result of

impact fractures after they were released

from the bow. The point on the right also

has some damage to the end of the stem.

These three points are made from Danish
flint. The longest example in the center

measures 3 11/16 inches (10 cm) long, 1/2

inch (1.2 cm) wide and 1/4 inch ( 6 mm) thick.
