Research and responses

During a research visit for the Characterizing World Archaeology project in 2010, Yannis Galanakis noted that c. 43 copper alloy arrowheads from Greece (1884.119.380, 1884.119.382–383, 1884.119.391–392, 1884.119.402–403, 1927.24.26–27, 1956.1.7) dated from the Early Iron Age, Archaic, or Classical periods, 'with the vast majority probably dated late rather than early in this date range'.
