Amazonian or Papua New Guinea Spears

Well these 2 items just came out of the tube after 14 months;what I mean by the the tube is a 6" diameter PVC piece of pipe with end caps, filled with mothballs.
As you can see they have extensive insect damage.The smaller partial spear is interesting as it is bone tipped.
I am guessing probably Amazonian, but they could be PNG, or even Polynesian.

I can say with some certainty that the wood is palmwood.

The weaving looks like it was made in Amazonia.
