Description (summary) 2008-08-17 eE this solid cast, leaf shaped arrow head is made of a copper ally and was likely produced in quantities using stone moulds. The leaf-shaped piece is constructed with a long diamond shaped shaft that covers roughly 1/3 of the entire lenght. There is a gradual taper throughout the lenght of the shaft, for about 3 cm. Following this point, the head of the piece emerges with a more pronounced taper, reaching a max width of 1.34 cm before it tapers again to a point. Despite heavy soil encrustation as well as oxidation, there is enough evidence for a midrib along the center of the arrow head. It is interesting to compare to piece A20.30, which follows nearly the same dimensions - adding impetus to the idea of a common mould, despite the lack of a visible midrib on the A20 piece.
