arrowhead
The term refers to both a physical artifact and a graphic symbol. When discussing archaeology, it carries a connotation of antiquity and primitive technology, often associated with flint-knapping and prehistoric survival. In this context, it is a tangible object of historical study.
In modern technical or digital contexts, the word describes a geometric pointer. Here, the focus shifts from materiality to functionality, where the arrowhead serves as a visual cue for directionality, flow, or navigation in diagrams and user interfaces.
