Simulating Organic Projectile Point Damage to Bison Pelves

Author(s)
Charles A. Speer 1
Publication Date

A large Bison sp. pelvis was discovered eroding out of shoreline sediment at American Falls Reservoir in Bingham County, Idaho in 1953. The ischium section had a unique groove and perforation with a depth of 35 mm and 10 mm in diameter. The pelvis was X-rayed in 1961 for indicators of the origin of the damage, but it could not be ascertained, and human agency could not be ruled out. For the research presented here, the pelvis was CT scanned to look for any foreign material in the perforation and to determine the three-dimensional structure...

An experimental archaeological approach to the restoration of stoneware techniques such as stonemaking and use is important, but in recent years, a more diverse and extensive experimental programme has been incorporated into research. At the same time, it means that the methodological positioning of experimental archaeology in stone study is also diversifying.

Cross-Contamination via Stone Tool Use: A Pilot Study of Bifacial Butchery Tools

Publication Date
The pathogenic environment has been a constant shaping presence in human evolution. Despite its importance, this factor has been given little consideration and research. Here, we use experimental archaeology and microscopic analysis to present and support a novel hypothesis on the pathogenic properties of bifacial butchery tools...

A Scheme of Evolution for Throwing Sticks

Author(s)
Luc Bordes 1
Publication Date
Prehistoric wooden projectiles likely have a complex evolutionary story in a similar way to stone tools, depending on their functions, and the cognitive and physical capabilities of hominins who used them. The technologies of some ancient projectiles (e.g., spears, arrows) can be studied more directly because they were equipped with...

Arch盲otechnica: Stone Age in Europe

  • Germany

From the appearance of the first hominids to sedentary farming life, the Stone Age is an epoch of superlatives. Reason enough to dedicate a separate ARCH脛OTECHNICA to this chapter of human history. We have therefore invited numerous international performers and scientists to help us get in touch with life during the European Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic.
