Among 852 stone artifacts discovered at Grotte Mandrin, which dated back to about 54,000 years, 196 triangular stone points had high-impact damage. Some of the stone points also displayed alterations caused by butchery activities.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers compared the findings with damage on stone copies of the artifacts that they used as arrowheads shot from bows and as the tips of spears. Additional comparative evidence was provided from arrowheads used by present-day hunting groups.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1808\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22791 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/botswana\/sites\/38\/2023\/02\/postMediaimg_86_2.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/botswana\/sites\/38\/2023\/02\/postMediaimg_86_2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/botswana\/sites\/38\/2023\/02\/postMediaimg_86_2-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/botswana\/sites\/38\/2023\/02\/postMediaimg_86_2-725x1024.jpg 725w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/botswana\/sites\/38\/2023\/02\/postMediaimg_86_2-768x1085.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/botswana\/sites\/38\/2023\/02\/postMediaimg_86_2-1087x1536.jpg 1087w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was noted that the production of lithic artifacts was focused on standardized tiny points, some clustering around only 1 cm in length. Impact damage analyses showed that these stone points had been attached at the bottom to shafts. The scientists stated that the smallest points could have pierced animals only when shot from bows. Thus, they served as arrowheads.<\/p>\n<p>The study concluded that the production of these artifacts was unseen in archaeological assemblages of this period and represented a main structural difference between Neanderthal and modern human social and material organization. The researchers also assumed that this bow-and-arrow technology of the first modern humans in Europe may have given them a competitive advantage over local Neanderthal societies.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"512\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22792 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/botswana\/sites\/38\/2023\/02\/postMediaimg_86_3.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/botswana\/sites\/38\/2023\/02\/postMediaimg_86_3.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/botswana\/sites\/38\/2023\/02\/postMediaimg_86_3-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/botswana\/sites\/38\/2023\/02\/postMediaimg_86_3-1024x410.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/botswana\/sites\/38\/2023\/02\/postMediaimg_86_3-768x307.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
