Description
Bronze arrowhead found in excavations in the archaeological park. Some researchers note that wide arrowheads would be more suitable for hunting because they could cause larger injuries favouring bleeding of animals, while solid and thinner arrowheads would have been more useful in war, especially when faced with soldiers bearing some kind of armour to protect the body.
