From "Spearheads of the Anglo-Saxon Settlements". Swanton 1973, to my knowledge there are no digital copies of this:
Hjortspring, Spearshafts mostly Ash with some Rowan and suprisingly Birch.
(However Klaus Randsborg says Ash 2.5cm in the center and 1.97m long for the longest but incomplete, others were slightly thinner or thicker.)
La Tene, Vimose, Nydam, only Ash shafts found.
Anglo-Saxon spears seem to have shafts of ash aesc.
footnote 65 page 26.
otherwise as noted above.

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
