Abstract:		 The arrowheads have been treated statistically for the period c 3500 bc to c 1000 bc, after which both archery and skilled flint-working have disappeared. Raw material, 'trade', types of arrowhead, distribution and density, function, hafting and ritual are all considered; the corpus is confined to associated finds, although stray finds are used in the statistical and spatial analyses. Special forms of arrowhead were sometimes made for burials. The concept of 'Secondary Neolithic' is found helpful for explaining the existence of the Rinyo-Clacton culture and the survival of multi-barbed points and burins a full millennium after the primary Neolithic settlement. By EBA, archery in warfare is replaced by battle axes or bronze weapons, especially in Wessex contexts. Contrary to belief there is no arrowhead link between Wessex and Brittany.
