The bilobate arrowheads exhibit short tangs, allowing for secure attachment to arrow shafts, while the trilobate arrowheads feature a rounded socket, facilitating efficient mounting. The blades of all arrowheads gracefully taper to a sharp point, emphasizing their intended function as lethal weapons.
