v1.c10.s3.t1.4

Around 2800 BC, Bagor entered into the chalcolithic phase evidently based upon the indigenous copper ore. Apart from bits of copper/bronze, five well-defined objects were found among offerings with two burials of phase II: one spearhead, one thin rod and three arrowheads each provided with two parallel holes near the base. The holes were evidently intended to secure the arrowheads to the shaft with the help of a string, metal wire or rivets.
