Hi Tim, thanks for you comment, it does make sense that material culture items including these spears probably spread far and wide.

Ian, the description of at least one of the museum specimens suggests that oryx antelope horns were typically used. Looking at a picture of an oryx, this seems like a reasonable source.

Default Congratulations

Congratulations. You outbid me at the auction. The length is always an issue for shipping.
