X-Ray Tomography and Infrared Spectrometry for the Analysis Of Throwing Sticks and Boomerangs

Throwing sticks, including boomerangs as a subclass, are prehistoric objects as old as humanity. They have endured on many continents in different forms, uses, and traditions of manufacture. Numerous different approaches have been used to study them. Many studies of throwing sticks are dominated by...
