Hi all As you can see from this picture, http://anthropology.umn.edu/assets/img/hafted.jpg the hafting is the material that attaches the stone point to the shaft of the spear. The poison/beeswax mix is part of this material. Obviously, if the spear made a wound in the prey, the poisoned haft would have access to that wound. > For many points, it is difficult to determine the dividing line between the blade and hafting area. http://anthropology.umn.edu/labs/wlnaa/points/guide/termnmeas.html PLB *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
