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.
