I think I'm look for information on hunting/weapon versions of the spear. Utilitarian. Cultures I'm not sure. I know parts of the Philippines, Oceania, and New Guinea used spears till the last hundred years. African spears seem to be very focused on large game . Size and weight of several types, from several cultures is my big focus in this thread. I'm looking for some type of continuity of design. Inertia for penetration vs speed of the tip.
