and another spear with unusual shaft

[Timo Nieminen]

Looks like 2/3 of an East African (Maasai et al.) spear. If the butt of the haft looks like it carried a socketed tail, all that's left to do is to look for the tail.

Yes that is possible .... looking at it just now I can see that the wooden part of the shaft has been sawn off short , so it may well have once had a socketed end piece.
