Description

This database was compiled for the paper titled "Late Bronze Age Bronze Arrowheads from Transdanubia and Beyond" (DissArch 2025). It provides a detailed list of Late Bronze Age Transdanubian analogue finds, along with supplementary information such as site names, archaeological context, dating, quantity, citations, and notes. The database is based on the works of Gedl (2014), Říhovský (1996), Eckhardt (1996), Clausing (2005), Reinhold (2007), Sicherl (2004), Vasić (2015), and Inselmann et al. (2024), as well as numerous individual studies referenced in the document "Transdanubian Arrowhead Database (Bibliography)." This database also revises the most recent work by Inselmann et al. (2024) and broadens the geographic scope of analogous finds beyond Central Europe. It includes information on the following Eckhardt variants: 1A, 1C, 3A, 4A, 4C, 4E, and 5A. We intend to regularly update and expand the database. Should you identify any errors—such as missing citations, incorrect site names, or typological misidentifications—please contact me so appropriate corrections can be made. Version 1 was made in July, 2025 and updated to Version 2 in October 6, 2025. Version 4 was made in October 11, 2025.
