Anatolia, also known in antiquity as Asia Minor, was located in the Anatolian Peninsula. The earliest metal arrowheads, evolving from flint arrowheads, were found in Anatolia and Susa, and dated back to the 3rd millennium BC, spreading outwards from there. Anatolia, along with the Luristan province, were among the first regions to have boasted bronze production. Trilobate arrowheads are typical of the Anatolian and Turkish region, and can date back to circa the mid-6th century BC. Their rounded triangular shape with sharp point was a widely used technique due to its armour-piercing qualities and light weight, and are commonly found alongside bilobate arrowheads. The ends would have been attached to a wooden shaft.
