Here's a link to an interesting article about Early Bronze Age arrowheads (2150-1700 BC) found in graves in Brittany, France. I think I'll try some of these someday. It's now on my bucket list. :)

Key words: "found in graves". Probably gifts/offerings. There were various types, though. Some look more utilitarian than others. Most of them imitate designs that already existed in bronze.
