A hunting weapon consisting of a balanced wooden shaft with a pointed metal head fastened on one end. Shorter than other polearms, it can be wielded with one or two hands and is also light enough to be thrown. "The halberd is inferior to the spear on the battlefield. With the spear you can take the initiative; the halberd is defensive. In the hands of one of two men of equal ability, the spear gives a little extra strength. -Miyamoto Musashi, _The Book of Five Rings_, 1645.

This weapon falls into the Polearms category. It can be used with one hand, or more effectively with two (i.e. when not using a shield), and it is better for the dexterous.

Spears are decent enough weapons in the early game for either melee or throwing, particularly if you don't intend to use a shield. However, you'll want to upgrade to a trident as soon as possible.
