Conjunto Arqueológico de Cástulo

Conjunto Arqueológico de Cástulo
Linares (Jaén), Spain

The bow and arrow had been perfected for thousands of years for hunting and war. The novelty around the third millennium was that the arrowheads were made of copper, characteristic of the first metallurgy.

Here we find several pieces of equipment used for archery. A diorite plate polished, for protecting the forearm of archer, and two metal lanceolate arrow tips.
