This arrowhead falls into Jessop’s type T3 which is characterised by a small leaf-shaped blade and a rectangular tang. Jessop comments that tanged arrowheads are predominantly from contexts dating from the 9th-10th centuries… Tanged arrowheads are manufactured from a flat bar of iron, requiring less technological skill than arrowheads from the 13th~ 15th centuries (ibid).
