These crossbow arrows in various forms were defensive or attack weapons used in the Middle Ages and are often found in the vicinity of fortresses. These three arrowheads, dating back to the late Middle Ages, were found amongst the ruins of Wolkenstein castle.

An iron tip from a crossbow arrow (14th - 15th century) was discovered by chance on the Alpe di Siusi plateau at Compaccio. This typical medieval attack and defensive weapon is normally found near fortresses.

A Roman knife made from iron was discovered by chance near Fischburg castle (Ciastel de Gherdëina in the Ladin language). The weapon or tool was probably lost in the forest. Gröden did not seem to be a particularly attractive area for the Romans, neither from a geographical point of view nor as a prospective settlement. 

A bronze Roman coin (sestertius) with a portrait of Gordian III, who was appointed Emperor at the age of 13 and hence called 'the child emperor', was found on the 'Poststeig' path between St. Peter and St. Ulrich. This sporadic find is difficult to interpret; the coin may have got lost or have been deposited as a wayside votive offering. 

A hoard of coins or money containing half a kilo of Roman coins was buried and hidden shortly before the year 326 in the Constantine era as an emergency. This was discovered in a dry-stone wall by two builders while digging the foundations of the Eurotel on the Alpe di Siusi plateau. Just nine coins remain out of the original coin hoard; the rest are lost. 

In 1848, a number of trinkets, iron weapons and work tools were laid down in ritual fashion at the Iron Age cult and burial site at Col de Flam. Tools included axes, picks, knives and a few woodworking tools, such as a gouge. One iron pick has an inscription on its handle. 

In 1848, during the ploughing of a field under the Col de Flam, a rich collection of iron weapons and tools, as well as iron and bronze brooches and jewellery, was uncovered. The finds, dating from the 6th to the 2nd century BC, partly come from cremation graves and are partly associated with a burnt offering site.

The central metal component (boss) of a wooden shield from the late Iron Age (6th–2nd century BC) was found at Col de Flam. It served to protect the fist of the person holding the shield. It is an example of Celtic blacksmithing and either indicates the presence of Celtic warriors, probably mercenaries, or local copying of Gallic weapons. The wooden part of the shield has not been preserved. 

This weapon, used for defence but also as a hunting tool, demonstrates fine craftsmanship and ornamentation. It dates back to the Middle Bronze Age. It is extraordinary that it was found intact on the heavily travelled prehistoric mountain trail, the 'Troi Paian' on the Baléstberg near St. Jakob. Judging from the blade's characteristics, this artifact could be a votive offering from a person of high rank.

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.
