Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a morphometric analysis conducted on the arrowheads from the battlefield of Las Navas de Tolosa (1212), a battle between the Almohads troops and the Iberian Christian kingdoms. It took place near Santa Elena (Jaén), in the southern Iberian Peninsula. Our objective is to bring new data on the operational chains of these iron artefacts at the beginning of the thirteenth century. The results allow us to delve into the specialisation of blacksmiths, to approach production techniques, and to quantify the process of standardisation according to the measurement systems within medieval Christian and Andalusian societies. In short, this research addresses new and relevant approaches to the field of weaponry and medieval metallurgy, transcending traditional typologies.
