9,000-Year-Old Incised Arrowheads Deepen a Neolithic Mystery

When a group of eleven rare obsidian arrowheads, recently uncovered at Tepecik-Çiftlik in Central Turkey, were added to the existing collection of 54 example arrowheads from the Neolithic period, archaeologists were left with many unanswered questions, including whether or not the engraved markings had any significance or meaning. The newly discovered arrowheads showed evidence that the makers intentionally carved patterns into the volcanic glass (obsidian) at two different times: either prior to completion of the arrowhead or after its completion. The fact that these designs appear to share a common origin and/or tradition suggests that there was a single cultural group who carved these designs into their arrowheads; however, there is no indication that the engraved designs represent any form of written language.
