The occurrence of lithic arrowheads preceded the full manifestation of a social class of warrior/power elites, defined within vertical social stratification with their characteristic metal militaria – swords, shields, spears, or armour. Lithic arrowheads were deposited exclusively in male graves, although other warrior equipment, such as wrist guards, copper daggers, and battle-axes, sometimes appeared in wealthy female graves as well. Arrowheads have been traditionally interpreted as a typical attribute of warriors because the alimentary importance of hunting was minimal in this époque. Although projectiles of this period have been mostly interpreted from a symbolic perspective, our results testify to a long practical life of the majority of analysed arrowheads, despite the fact that the deposition of arrowheads in graves is undoubtedly symbolic.
