Leaf-shaped arrowheads were made by bifacial pressure flaking, creating an elongated, leaf-shaped point.  If a stem can be identified, as in this example, it is classified as Type II.  This artefact was made by expert bifacial transverse-parallel pressure flaking.  The orientation of the angled scars is reverse from that commonly seen on parallel pressure-flaked points internationally.

The arrowhead is curated by the Sharjah Archaeology Authority, catalogue number EXS367.
