As well as these common forms we have evidence for many other types of arrow heads:<br>

<br>

Many of these are regional or period specific.<br>

<br>

=== Tanged Arrows - leaf or shouldered ===

''Usually a ‘leaf-shaped’ or lentoid blade usually with a diamond shaped cross-section.'' <br>

The arrowhead is glued into a hole drilled in to the end of the arrow shaft by its tang. The end of the arrow shaft is then often reinforced with a sleeve of wood or bark, or by whipping linen or more rarely brass wire around the shaft. [Halpin 2008:p.66-70]

<br>

=== Socketed Arrows - shouldered or leaf ===

''Usually a shouldered blade usually with a diamond shaped cross-section. The arrowhead is attached to the end of the arrow shaft by means of gluing the socket.''<br>

<br>

=== Bodkin heads ===

A range of sites across Northern Europe show comparable evidence for a shift towards bodkins in the second half of the C10th. It has been argued that this may reflect the emergence of the armoured and mounted aristocratic warriors. [Halpin 2008:p.169]<br>
