Opaque grey flint arrowhead with fins and stem and bifacial retouch, which, together with fragments of handmade pottery forming a vase with a carinated cross-section, make up the grave goods of different individuals buried in the megalithic tomb of L’Espluga dels Tres Pilars (Baronia de Rialb). Unlike the vast majority of megaliths, this tomb features a combination of side slabs and dry-stone wall, although it is not known whether the dry-stone wall parts are contemporary to the construction of the megalith.
