Arrowheads of the Štramberk type from Spytkowice 26 (district of Wadowice) against the background of the Eneolithic chipped industries

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the Štramberk type arrowheads found during excavations in Spytkowice in 1993 and 2019. They represent a local Eneolithic phenomenon known mostly from the Moravia region and Silesia on both sides of the Polish-Czech border. However, some examples from outside of this area are discussed as well. The main aim is to present them against the background of other artefacts of this type, and against Eneolithic arrowheads in general. The phenomenon in question seems to be intercultural and its origins may be connected with late Lengyel culture groups, although such arrowheads were also found in Funnel Beaker culture contexts and, as suggested by some researchers, may continue even as late as the Early Bronze Age.
