Practical and symbolic aspects of the life cycle of arrowheads. Central Europe 2.500 – 1.800 BC.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Despite the descending importance of lithic industry at the end of Eneolithic, highly attractive morphotypes – lithic arrowheads – play an important role in symbolic communication in Central European societies. The crystallizing social class of warriors was not yet defined at vertical social stratification in the sense of warrior/power elites with their characteristic metal militaria – swords, shields, spears or armour parts. Lithic arrowheads are deposited exclusively in male graves, although other warrior equipment, such as wrist guards, copper daggers or battle axes, sometimes appear in wealthy female graves, too. Arrowheads are traditionally interpreted as a typical attribute of warriors because alimentary importance of hunting is minimal in that époque. Nevertheless, their presence in burial grounds and settlements is low. Only a small part of male graves include arrowheads. And only a small part of them include more than a single specimen. Archery sets are not frequent.
