Hi Leah
The closest to this type of arrow I can find is in the Charles E Grayson collection, and is described as Mbuti (Pygmy) from Congo. They were used for hunting small game and the carved indentations near the end are to assist gripping, as these arrows had no nocks.
Have a look at the University of Missouri website - it has the Grayson Collection there. Another good source of reference would be the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford.
Regards
Colin
