Flint arrowheads
Convincing evidence of high-Alpine hunting in the Copper Age.
Flint arrowheads, which were attached to the arrow shaft, testify to hunting activity in the high mountains. The stalk of this perfectly preserved arrowhead helped with its insertion into the shaft. The rich hunting grounds on the vast Seiser Alm plateau between Kompatsch and the Plattkofel attracted hunters from the early Mesolithic period and continued to attract hunters into the Copper Age, as this find at the Panorama proves.
