the only exceptions are the spearheads from Biharkeresztes71 and Szegvár–
Oromdűlő (map 8).
Reed-shaped spearheads with clasped socket (P.I.B/3.b) are represen-
tatives of a rare variant: the corners of the socket-wings are pierced and
linked by a clasp which is also characteristic of type P.I.A/3.b. All of the ten
pieces72 classified as of this variant are dated to the Early phase.73 Most of the
known examples were found in the cemeteries of Budakalász–Dunapart and
Csákberény–Orondpuszta (fig. 25). The main distribution area of this variant
was situated in Eastern Transdanubia.
The socket-wings of the next variant are bent next to each other (P.I.B/3.c)
which is a variant of the closed socket. Eleven spearheads can be classified as
of this variant,74 most of them (eight pieces) being dated to the Early phase
(fig. 27/3), and only three to the Late phase. The early examples were found in
Transdanubia75 and are dated by their burial context.76 The geographical dis-
tribution of the late examples are widely dispersed: one piece is known from
