The arrowheads measure from 20 to 25 mm in length. Two of them have a concave crescentic base and the third has a barbed base; all the three are provided with two holes near and parallel to the base, which must have been used to secure them to the shaft with a string, metal wire or rivets. Similar arrowheads but without holes are known from a number of Harappa sites in Sind, Punjab. Baluchistan, Rajasthan and Gujarat, and one specimen is known from the Chalcolithic levels of INDORE. Since there is no evidence to suggest that the people of Bagor themselves practised metallurgy, the plausible explanation is that they obtained metal tools from a source that also catered to the needs of the Harappa and other communities. - [Previous: v2.c29.68](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.68) - [Next: v2.c29.70](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.70) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.69](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.69) · Pramāṇa
