Prehistoric flint scatter, Great Packington.

1 Finds of quantities of flint, perhaps indicating a working or occupation site. The finds were approximately 600 yds NE of Springpools. Shotton illustrates and lists the following artefact types from this site: disc, core-chisel, core-scraper, flat round-scraper, domed round-scraper, flake scraper, awl, barbed and tanged arrowhead and microlith.
2 The barbed and tanged arrowhead is described further. A poor piece of flint has been used and has been shaped into a core of triangular cross section and one end has been trimmed to form an arrowhead. Two deep cup-like scars at the bottom have differentiated the barbs from the tang. It looks as if a blow was then struck at the point end with the intention of detaching the complete flake, but this only succeeded in crumbling the point and the half finished arrowhead was thrown away.
