Description
English:

Metal point.

Projectile points were crafted for two uses, hunting and warfare. This particular point resembles a point made for warfare. What is the difference? This point has a rear-pointing triangular end; these barbs would have made it difficult to remove from a wound without worsening damage to muscles and organs. This large point may have been a spear point.
