Period
Early Bronze Age / Ранняя Бронза
Remarks

This small arrowhead is trapezoid shaped and bi-facially worked. It is made of good quality obsidian and retains its sharp edge. The aforementioned metrics account for the length and width of the distal end. It is worth noting that the width of the proximal end is 7.63mm. Given the context in which the object was found in T38 on the western slope of Gegharot it seems likely given the singularity of the unit that this object dates to the Early Bronze Age. It is, however, based on the object's morphology alone to definitely prove that such is necessarily the case.
