Tanged points are projectile points that have a tang at one end to facilitate hafting. A tang is made by retouching one, or more usually both edges, in order to create a projection that is thinner than the width of the blank. This projection is then fitted into the arrow shaft.​ ​ Tanged point - A1 are projectile points that are made from naturally pointed blade blanks that have no, or little, retouch except for the tang which is created by direct retouch.


Tanged point - A2 are projectile points. They are most common in the production of tangs for projectile points, particularly in the A2 and B types of Neolithic typology (Helskog et al.1976., 26)

Tanged point - A2 are projectile points. They are most common in the production of tangs for projectile points, particularly in the A2 and B types of Neolithic typology (Helskog et al.1976, 26). Tanged points- A2 have alternate retouch position​ ​ Tanged point - A3 points are simple tanged points made on blades. Only the tang and occasionally the point are retouched. The tang is made by inverse abrupt retouch.​
A-points are normally attributed to the Early Neolithic.
