Description Paper concludes results of late prehistoric lithic projectiles research, starting in 2015. More than 400 of projectiles were analysed – projectiles of Nitra, Bell Beaker, Protoúnětice, Únětice and Otomany cultures. Methods involved technology analysis, use-wear and ballistics. Results were experimentally tested. Comprehensive knowledge of projectile social roles, operational chain, archer´s mobility and real ballistic impact, was reached for studied period. Results could have key importance for clarification of social change processes in elite crystallising period of Early Bronze Age.
