Abstract

We analysed a small collection of three arrowheads and one piece of spearhead. They were made of flint and metal and
come from the Bronze and Early Iron Age settlement at Ruszowice in today SW Poland. Although only one comes
from a settlement pit, we argue they were used by the community occupying the site at the beginning of the Urnfield
period which starts around 1300 BC. All four objects bear clear traces of use including hafting and sharpening proving
they use in every-day life.
