There are nu-merous arrow-heads of the same class,though not of the same form, which havebeen made from flakes of the properthickness, by a little secondary workingto give them a point, and by slightlytrimming the butt-end of the flake. Theyusually approximate to the leaf shape inform, but, as might be expected, vary considerably in size, proportions,and the amount of symmetry displayed. It seems needless to engravespecimens. The weapon-point shown in Fig. 302 is so large that possibly it maybe regarded as that of a javelin, and not of an arrow. It is in the col-lection of Mr. H. Durden, of Blandford, and was found on Iwerne Minster.
