According to Len Collard, staff and students at the University of Western Australia have discovered a number of spearheads on Rottnest Island in recent years, but they were all white.

Professor Collard added that the spearhead was used by indigenous male prisoners who lived on the island more than a century ago for trading and bartering, building commercial relationships, and possibly to hunt the island's common pygmy quokka.
