speartips
Sharpened weapon heads
Speartips are the pointed ends of spears—the sharpened stone, metal, or bone heads designed for piercing.
Archaeological finds of speartips reveal much about ancient hunting and warfare.
The term also describes anything resembling this shape: speartip leaves, a speartip formation of geese.
In figurative use, a speartip is the leading element of an advance: The battalion served as the speartip of the invasion.
