Abstract
The author discusses the provenance of a particular type of trilobate arrowhead, namely the arrowhead whose trilobate cross-section is combined with a full or triangular cross-section in the second half of the head or at the very tip of it. The author shares the views that these are not Avar arrowheads, but at the same time questions the theories about their Mediterranean origin. This paper particularly points to finds from the area of the Roman province of Dalmatia, and following the leads provided by the finds from site Knin - Greblje, and in regard to the previously stated assumptions, defines the time and context in which they were used.
