      Ooooooh,that had to hurt!  Just a bit worse than hitting you knee on an immovable object in the dark!
Nice looking point though.  At least he got to keep the point! ::)  Kind of hard to fight when you have that embedded in your knee!

Yes that was very interesting read. Guess we know why we have to support our military. It's just in our nature I guess.

You are totally welcome.
Being a knapper that photo really lit me up.
The point looks like it was just knapped.

One thing I learned is that the cross bow was missing.
With all the bronze and all the cross bow didn't
make it to northern Europe till thousands of years later.

It's not every day you get to see some insight
into what is totally REAL Primitive Archery.
I hope there will be follow up articles.

In a Bowshop here in Michigan many years ago, The Owner has a Buffalo Pelvic Bone with a Stone Head buried in it. Came from Western States somewhere. Pretty cool tho and VERY impressive. Bob

I post alot about elephants.
They are kinda the leading edge
in the Americas. Buffaloes seem
to be the next most tasty spicies.
