They were found in a cluster against the foot end of the grave-shaft (outside the coffin) 0.30m above the floor; the shafts must therefore have been 0.30m long and have been in a quiver which was leaned up against the wall of the pit. They would be hunting arrows, probably used for small birds, the chisel edge intended to cut sinews. PG/755. (B. 8300.) (L.) (P.)2
