Arrows would have been made from suitable locally available materials. Although we have found thousands of arrow heads, we have very few finds of arrow shafts. Because of this paucity of evidence we are forced to look earlier in time to determine how arrows were constructed and here we consider evidence from the late Roman period to the end of Regia’s period.<br>
Old English had a number of words for arrow: earh, arwe, flā, flān, wifel, strǣl, strǣle . [Manley 1985: p.225]<br>
