The influence of raw material on fracture attributes used in projectile analysis
Let's cut to the chase and rely on fracture mechanics to identify projectile armatures
No Solid Foundation for the Use of Ochre-based Compound Adhesives at Le Moustier
Adhesives are commonly sought-after residues due to their current use as a proxy for early human cognitive traits. Identifying adhesives is a complex task due to the preservation bias associated with the archaeological record and the organic nature of the residues. Although important information concerning prehistoric behaviour is being inferred from glue identification and use, it is rarely identified through molecular and elemental compositions…
The propulsion phase of spear-throwers and its implications for understanding prehistoric weaponry
Projectiles Under a New Angle
A closer look at an eroded dune landscape
The vast Federmessergruppen site of Lommel-Maatheide, which is located in the Campine region (Northern Belgium), revealed the presence of numerous Final Palaeolithic concentrations situated on a large Late Glacial sand ridge on the northern edge of a contemporary lake. This situation offers a unique possibility for a large-scale functional analysis in order to understand the occupation of such a Late Glacial dune landscape. The variable preservat…
A Leaf Point Documents Hunting with Spears in the Middle Paleolithic at Hohle Fels, Germany
During the 2020 season at Hohle Fels Cave in the Ach Valley of southwestern Germany the excavation team from the University of Tübingen recovered a bifacial leaf point in archaeological horizon (AH) X. This horizon is the fifth deepest of the Middle Paleolithic horizons at the site and is located roughly 120 cm beneath the base of the rich Aurignacian layers of the cave. The new leaf point, or Blattspitze in German, is the first artifact of its k…
Ballistic Study Tackles Kinetic Energy Values of Palaeolithic Weaponry
The appearance of new projectile propulsion modes is viewed as an important element for understanding human behaviour during the Palaeolithic. Because the organic components of hunting weapons (the bow, spear‐thrower and arrow, and spear shaft) are only rarely preserved archaeologically, some effort has been invested in experiments to explore how the projecting modes could be identified through the analysis of stone points. The kinetic energy dev…
