NOTE ON A NEOLITHIC ARROWHEAD 

 FROM UPTON PARK, ESSEX. 



By A. S. KENNARD. 



THIS beautiful Arrowhead, which I exhibited at the meeting 

 of the Chib 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 fiom Uptoii 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, Yorksliire, and 

 elsewhere.
