I didn't read the whole document. In that sentence that I showed you, it is obvious that they found thrusting spears, because you cannot thrust throwing spears
Of course you can.
The only potential differences, really, is that throwing spears
generally had sharpened points, instead of stone points. They
just sharpened the end of the shaft.
But of course there's nothing stopping them from afixing stone
points, and sharpened ends is probably better suited to spear
fishing than taking down a horse.
A horse is going to run quite some distance before dropping from
a sharpened stick...
Stone blades are knives that work back & forth as an animal runs,
enlarging the wound.
