All of these arrowheads were acquired through clandestine activities in Iran and were confiscated by the authorities in Kerman Province, Southeastern Iran. They are stored in the cultural-historical property repository of the Administration of Cultural Heritage of Kerman.
All in this group are trilobate. Dimensions (cm) and notes are provided in the image. All are compared to similar arrowheads dating to the Achaemenid Period.
Additional notes about the arrowheads in this group:
#91 and #92 – The authors relate these to arrowheads from Kalabaktepe at Miletus and Didyma, dated to c. 600 – 500 BC.
#93 – The authors relate this one to a possibly-Parthian surface find from Shahr-i-Qumis, dating to c. 1st century BC through 3rd century AD. However, they also see similarities between the arrowhead and slightly earlier examples dating to c. 260-145 BC from “the arsenal of Ai-Khanoum.”
#94 – This one may be Parthian, 3rd century BC through 2nd century AD.
