Introduction 37
In the case of the conical spearheads (P.II) the blade and the socket are not
separate, the blade’s cross section being circular or square-shaped. Two types
are identifed: conical (P.II.A) and narrow, needle-shaped (P.II.B) blades
(fig. 5).
The blade of the lenticular177 spearheads (P.III) does not have a shoulder,
these pieces are oval in shape, their greatest width is normally toward the
middle or in the lower third of the blade, the cross section of which is flat
lenticular or rhombic. Several types can be distinguished based on the ratio of
blade length and width or on the form of the cross section:
P.III.A—broad lenticular blade
P.III.B—narrow lenticular blade
177 Spitzovale or blattförmige in German.
