Experimental Evidence of Spear-thrower Use in the Late Upper Palaeolithic (Upper Magdalenian) from the Isturitz Cave Site, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France
The authors organized a projectile experiment including the use of bow and spear-thrower in conditions replicating Palaeolithic hunting. Experimental copies of antler points from the Late Upper Palaeolithic showed proximal fractures characteristic of spear-thrower use. Similar fractures are fou...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Резюме: | The authors organized a projectile experiment including
the use of bow and spear-thrower in conditions replicating
Palaeolithic hunting. Experimental copies of
antler points from the Late Upper Palaeolithic showed
proximal fractures characteristic of spear-thrower use.
Similar fractures are found on archaeological specimens
from the Upper Magdalenian occupation of the
Isturitz site, thus bringing arguments in favour of the
persistence of this weapon at least until ca. 16―14 cal
ka BP in Western Europe. |
