How does something so fragile survive around 4000 years in the field. Years of ploughing, harrowing, drilling, and at this farm power harrows. Everthing made to break up the ground for next years crop.
For #FindsFriday, A barbed and tanged arrowhead, Neolithic to Bronze Age.

#FindsFriday!
An arrowhead made of #meteorite iron: around 1,500 BC, a meteorite struck #Estonia. A fragment of it arrived - presumably in the baggage of an amber trader - at what is now Lake Biel, #Switzerland. An arrowhead was then made there from the cosmic iron.
From Mörigen, 900-800 BC.

From Bronze Age Wales, the spectacular Mold Cape! 🤩
An incredible ancient feat of sheet-goldworking, beaten from a single gold ingot some 3,600 years ago!
The extraordinary embossed decoration is said to mimic strings of beads.
