TIL that once a culture stops using stone tools for a few hundred years they start thinking flint arrowheads are from elves.
In the British Isles some idea of their original use is retained, and they are often referred to variously as elf arrows, elf bolts, elf darts, or fairy arrows, and are said to have been shot by elves or fairies at a person or animal to bewitch them.
