a script of the equestrian nomads in the 1 st millennium Bc? remarks on the so-called Scythian arrowheads with markings between Eastern alps, urals and anatolia numerous studies are devoted to the distribution, chronology and historical interpretation of the so-called scythian arrowheads, which are known in the vast area between Central europe, eurasia and the near east. Less well known and researched so far is the occurrence of incised and cast signs that occur on the wings and sometimes the sockets of the two-and threewinged bronze arrowheads. While such signs on finds from the northern Pontic region and anatolia have been known for some time, their occurrence on arrowheads from eastern Central europe, more precisely on arrowheads from the fortified Hallstatt-settlement smolenice-molpír, belongs to the more recent discoveries. While initially only a very small number of pieces with incised signs have been discovered and made public, we can now say that their number and their variety are much larger. the finds from smolenice-molpír are now among the largest ensembles of arrowheads with incised signs, which are known to date. With a view to comparable finds, the question arises of the interpretation of these signs-is it possibly a sign system that was widespread in the mounted nomadic cultural circle and is to be addressed as writing? eInLeItung Im Jahr 2002 wurden im rahmen der materialaufnahme für eine magisterarbeit an der Freien universität Berlin im museum von trnava (slowakei) an einigen der sogenannten skythischen Pfeilspitzen aus der befestigten Höhensiedlung von smolenice-molpír in der südwestslowakei kleine eingeritzte Zeichen
