Quote:These heads look like javelin heads. Small,thick and with relatively wide socket compared with the leaf...
Perhaps, but I worry that late dory heads are misidentified as javelin points because they are probably much smaller than people expect. In general, longer spears need smaller, lighter heads. Also, many of the larger spear heads might have been for short hunting spears. Hunting spears saw much more use that war spears in many areas.

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
