The article introduces into scientific circulation for the first time a complex of bronze and iron arrowheads obtained during the initial survey of an emergency monument of the early Iron Age, located near Almaty. In total, 50 arrowheads were considered, classified as socketed, tanged and clamp, found in the vast steppe area of the distribution of Scythian-Saka cultures from Eastern Turkestan to the Southern Urals. Of the total number of arrowheads, half are made with a clamping method of fastening, which is not found in any other archaeological site of the steppe region and makes this monument very extraordinary. Among the clamping arrowheads, the specimens that stand out for their large size attract attention. They are three-bladed, with a triangular head shape and widely spaced blades. Similar shaped arrowheads are found among the iron tanged ones, which have been massively used since the turn of the era. By analogy with the synchronous monuments given in the article, arrowheads from the settlement of Bayterek 1 can be dated to the 6th–4th centuries BC.
