In the Harvard University archaeological excavation of Nuzi by Dr. Starr in the 1930s, many arrow points were found in the corners of rooms, back when it, near the 20th century Mosul oil fields, in Kirkuk, Iraq was part of the Mitanni kingdom to about 1200 BCE. It's capital has never been found yet, an interesting fragment found between ancient Egypt and Iraq that had a royal wedding planned or thwarted. The capital is said to have been Washukkanni (in Wikipedia) and I read the report while a grad student for Elizabeth Stone, Ph.D. years ago at Stony Brook University in New York where Donny George, an archaeologist and the former head of the antiquities museum in Baghdad that the US led "coalition" allowed to be ransacked is. He was interviewed in the NY Times recently. I guess Iraq like Saudi Arabia has a long history of "bows and arrows" from what I've seen.
