NOTE ON A NEOLITHIC ARROWHEAD
FROM UPTON PARK, ESSEX.
By A. S. KENNARD.
THIS beautiful Arrowhead, which I exhibited at the meeting
of the Club on April 4th last (ante, p. 87), was found by
Master Ernest Tees in the garden of 161, Boleyn Road, Forest
Gate. It is an exceedingly well made implement, and has been
fashioned from a flake. It is stained a light brown colour, a
condition occurring in nearly all the worked flints obtained from
flint arrow-head from Upton Park, Essex.
the surface of the gravels and beneath the alluvium. As may be
seen from the figures one of the wings is unfortunately broken.
The length of the tang is very remarkable. Flint Arrowheads
are rather rare in the Home Counties, in this respect contrasting
greatly with their abundance in Suffolk, Yorkshire, and
elsewhere.
