HERE IS A PICTURE OF ONE FORM OF POINT THESE WERE 9.75 IN. LONG AND SAID TO BE FROM THE BURA CULTURE AND AROUND 100 YEARS OLD COULD BE USED FOR LIGHT SPEARS OR FOR ARROWS. 100 YEARS IS QUITE POSSIBLE AS THAT WOULD BE ONLY 34 YEARS BEFORE I WAS BORN, I KNEW MANY FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS FROM BEFORE THAT TIME.

I AM NOT OLD YET I'VE JUST BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE.

FIRST PICTURE 3 WELL MADE BURA POINTS
SECOND MORE RECENT SMALLER NIGERIAN POINTS NOTE THE DIFFERENCE IN WORKMANSHIP.
