Hi everybody,

I'm looking for museum examples of 15th century darts. Apparently a problem is that a lot of dart heads get misclassified as large arrow heads. I'm trying to pin down a decent range for socket size, dimensions of the heads (in particular, the barbed ones), and the length of the shaft. I'm not coming up with much on google searches, or pinterest, etc. Are there any tips you can share with me to find something?

Thank you very much!

Its one of the most solid results in archaeology that there is no bright line between arrowheads, throwing spear heads, and thrusting spear heads. All you can do is open the drawer or the catalogue labeled "projectile points" or "arrowheads" or "spearheads" and start to study. A recent thread had someone who had seen some 15th century European heads which probably belonged to darts.
