The javelin idea has crossed my mind as well. Although most of the ones I've seen before are a bit shorter - sort of a dart and with smaller heads. I'll be curious about the weight when I get it in hand, the construction make it look a bit heavy for throwing?
Still looking around for other spear heads with this shape to compare it to from the general Sahel region. Not turning up much yet.
