projectile points
Hafted weapon heads
Projectile points are sharpened stone or metal tips designed to be attached to spears, arrows, or darts.
The term appears primarily in archaeology, where the shape and material of points help date sites and identify cultures.
Arrowheads are the most familiar type, but the broader term covers any hafted point meant to be thrown or launched at a target.
