Description
Volume 10 in the series Bestimmungsbuch Archäologie presents the wide variety of arrowheads and spearheads found in German-speaking countries from the Palaeolithic Age to the 1st millennium AD. For thousands of years, human beings have used their era's best materials to make effective long-range weapons. Comprising stone, antler, bone, bronze or iron, they were designed to kill or injure animals when hunting or other human beings in conflict. The aim was always to optimize performance and ballistic properties for differing purposes. Based on a systematization employing morphological characteristics, which is also clear to laypeople, Volume 10 offers an additional reference work for the identification of a highly diverse group of archaeological artifacts.
- First comprehensive systemization of pre- and early historical weapons such as arrows, spears, and lances
