Context (Amendments / updates)
This spearhead was found with other spears from Kenya and East Africa, and is of similar style to other spearheads from Kenya. It is likely that it has come away from one of the East African shafts, possibly Z 19490. Until this can be properly determined, the decision has been made to give the spearhead a temporary number.
