Bronze Spear and Javelin Heads with Polygonal Sockets - A Balkan Phenomenon
Abstract
This article disscusses the emergence, distribution and local production of bronze spearand
javelinheads with polygonal sockets. A casting mould for such spearheads was found during
rescue excavations of a Thracian settlement in Southern Bulgaria. The analysis of similar artifacts
shows that they represent a phenomenon characteristic for the LH III А2 – EIA period and produced
in the area of the whole Balkan peninsula.
