    1. Or birds, lizards, rabbits, etc. Most arrowheads found are quite small as they don't affect the arrow's flight and keep that more accurate than the larger points.

  3. the things that most people call arrowheads are more like spear points in size.

  4. Many points/spear points are tools. Scrapers and knives, mainly. Being nomadic, they left everything at the camp, moved to the next, where everything was left from the last time. Any that were attached to the arrow are made like the bird points shown here, and that's a really good one. The thing about arrows was the shaft was the most important thing. A point took very little time to make, a good shaft was more difficult.
