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 B.C. Anatolia, along with the Luristan province, were among the first regions to have boasted bronze production. Bronze arrowheads of similar style were popular across Transcaucasian civilisations, dating from the 1st millennium onwards, and have been recovered in burial excavations, suggesting that they had burial purposes as well. These particular arrowheads display a popular lanceolate (or leaf shape), which would come to be a favoured style across this region.
