Arrowheads bear witness to hunting in the high mountains, which was still practiced in the Middle Bronze Age. These two arrowheads from Lech Sant, an Alpine lake, on the Aschgleralm (Ladin Mastlé), together with other finds, indicate the significance of the location as a cult place where sacrificial burnt offerings were made. The colloquial name 'Heiliger See' (Holy Lake) and the legend of the submerged chapel in the lake keep the memory of pre-Christian mountain cults alive to this day.

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.

Three individual flint arrowheads from Broglesjoch attest that hunters at times visited the Alpine areas of the Gröden region during the Copper and Bronze Ages (3,200 – 2,200 BC).

A well as finished tools, irregular flakes, which were a by-product of local tool processing, are often found at prehistoric sites (10,000 – 5,500 BC). These flakes of grey-coloured flint attest to the use of local flint deposits, such as those from Col dala Pieres. Flint (Ladin: piera da fuech) was also used for lighting fires, which is why it is sometimes called firestone.

Small worked flint pieces (microliths) were excavated at the large dolomite block know as the 'Cionstoan' (Ladin: Sas dla Stria), which is the oldest hunter's shelter yet discovered in South Tyrol. They were parts of the throwing weapons and arrows of Mesolithic hunters. In addition to flint, quartz was also used, though less frequently. This transparent mineral may have been attributed with magical significance.

In the Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods (10,000 – 5,500 BC), most tools were made from stone, primarily flint (Silex), which is widespread in the Alps. Tools such as blades, scrapers, burins, awls, and small arrowheads (microliths and trapezoidal points) were created using specific techniques. In addition to more common tools, the Columbella rustica (sea snail) shell was also discovered at Plan de Frea, which is the most important Mesolithic excavation site in the Southern Alpine region.
