FIRST SIGHT Two very fine neolithic flint arrowheads (3000–2500BC) were excavated at Marden, Wiltshire, in July; a flint rod that seems to have been an arrow barb was nearby, as only before seen in the hands of exceptional modern knappers. The rod does not quite fit either arrow (ensemble length 77mm). Photo Ian Leonard/English Heritage
