and Type IVb (Cat. No: 20), come from Horoztepe. The general morphology of this<br />

type dagger is an elongated blade with beveled edges and a wide tang. The shoulders<br />

are narrow.<br />

This type of blade has a rivet arrangement of Type IIIb daggers. The shoulders<br />

are narrow and rounded.<br />

The wide tang has a single rivet piercing.<br />

Type IVb<br />

The wide tang of this dagger is terminated in a round fashion and pierced by<br />

three rivets in a triangular arrangement. The rivets are located at the very far end of the<br />

tang, on the rounded section. The shoulders are narrow and flat.<br />

5.6 Type V<br />

All of the Type V daggers in Central Anatolia, so far, were found in Yenihayat<br />

(Cat. No: 35-37). These daggers have wide, rounded midribs. Unlike Type IV daggers,<br />

the morphology of the midrib of Type V is not the result of combination of a flat<br />

midrib technology with a cylindroid midrib. Type V daggers have flanges which are<br />

not seen in Type IV daggers. These daggers might have been hammered into shape<br />

rather than having been casted. None of the daggers have symmetric shoulders,<br />

flanges or tangs.<br />
