**Collection:** Prehistory and Historical Archeology Dept. **Inv.-No.:** [UF-22923](https://www.online.landessammlungen-noe.at/objects/1024541) **Material:** Iron **Dimensions:** 9,1 x 16,6 cm **Dating:** 900 - 1300 CE A bolt or quarrel is a dart-like projectile used by crossbows. The socketed bolt has a rhombic shape and a pyramidal tip. A distinctive feature of the design is the slightly conical socket and the bolt's tapered blade. The socket rim is the most fragile component, and therefore breakage of the socket rim is common. This object was digitized through the ‘Kulturerbe digital’ program of the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Public Service and Sport.
