*19.1.2 Arrowheads.* They have been found in the smaller houses in DK area of Mohenjo-daro (Mackay, 1938, p. 461). Thin flat pieces of copper with long narrow barbs but no tang, they were probably inserted into split bamboos or wooden shafts. Perhaps the prototypes of these arrowheads are the swallow-type arrowheads of the Stone Ages. While a few stone arrowheads have been found at Harappa, there is no such specimen at Mohenjo-daro.
