Stunners or Blunts: First off these are not simply broken arrowheads. Most possibly they did start out as projectile points that had there tips broken off. Look closely and you can see that each tip was purposely reworked. A broken points fracture looks very different. It's thought that stunners were used for hunting small game like birds or squirrels in order to knock out or wound them. It was a great way to knock a squirrel out of a tree without accidentally missing it and sticking the arrow into an upper tree branch. Blunts saved some tree climbing and from possibly breaking a perfectly good hunting point otherwise used for bigger game. These may have also been used as practice points. There's also evidence that they were sometimes hafted to a stick and used as scraping tools.
