Stone arrowheads were widely used on the territory of the Ananyino cultural-historical area during the IX–VII centuries BC. Numerous analogies in the sites of Maklasheyevka culture suggest that the main forms of arrowheads of the Early Iron Age were formed in the Bronze Age. In the Ananyino cultural-historical area, mainly petiole arrowheads were used, with preference given to ellipsoid shapes. The largest number of types of stone arrowheads falls on the Postmaklasheyevka culture, followed by the Vyatka-Vetluga culture, Ananyino classical and Akozino. The Ananyino cultural-historical area masters widely used the technology of production of thin bifaces – arrowheads. In this process, the technique of continuous bifacial thinning of blanks was used. This complex technology, which requires certain qualifications and a sufficiently high quality of raw materials, has been practiced in the Volga-Urals since the Eneolithic. In the circle of Ananyino cultural-historical area carriers, along with this complex multi-stage technology, a simple technique of thinning the edge parts of the tip blanks was used.
