The two shares have been discovered overa larger area, certainly not gathered, but we may consider, probably, that they have been a part of distinct treasures, more possible as the zone is intensively used every year for agriculture. The discoverer also couldn’t provide any information about the existence of some supposed recipients for keeping the arrow points, nothing - concerning this type - being identified in the researched area, if they existed, they have probably been destroyed. The treasure from Histria has a number of 70 arrow points, retrieved pre-accounts, with an average weight of 4,45 g. The second share discovered at Sinoe-Zmeica had a number of 78 pre-accounts retrieved arrow points weighing about 5,36 g. Concerning the chronological point of view the arrow points, pre-account signs, are dated at the middle of the VI century BC, their debut being, maybe, in the 1st half of the VI century BC.
