Arrowheads required great skill and patience; the flint would be chipped away using different practices such as the pressure flaking technique to achieve the desired shape. This method is attained by applying pressure with a pointy item, possibly a stone, bone or stick, along the edges to chip off small flakes. Flint was a favourable material due to its ease to reshape and its sharp cutting edge however it was not always accessible to all regions.
