Now that the archaeologist is staying at Wolfae's I went and spoke to him this evening, and he has at least conceded to the argument regarding the Maiden of Keinton Mandeville's authenticity as an ancient arrowhead that there "is a remote possibility of this being a failed bank for a leaf-shaped arrowhead." We looked at some other photographs of arrowheads including the sketch of the one he found and this revealed that a usual tailed or barbed point with which to head an arrow is apparent on some. Mine could just be an arrowhead in the making. It does look like struck flint. In any case, seemingly there are archaeological remains indicating that man inhabited Britain 11,000 B.C.E. and in some cases as far back as 35,000 B.C.E. I still think that we discovered an arrowhead and perhaps a gaming chip. Anyway.
