Summary/Abstract: Four bronze arrowheads were discovered during four archaeological research campaigns (in 2005, 2015, 2018 and 2021). The pieces of armament are specific to the Scythian culture, the main feature being their triangular shape, with the sides in three wings or facets. According to the particular elements, they can be divided into two categories: arrowheads with a long sleeve (2) and arrowheads with a short sleeve (2). An item was found in an archaeological feature and the other three are from the living level. Although the arrowheads with the short sleeve are considered older, we date them back to the 4th-3rd centuries BC in comparison with the other finds and pottery from the Getic culture level.
