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 />
