Skills Shortage: A Critical Evaluation of the Use of Human Participants in Early Spear Experiments

Hand-delivered spears are the earliest clear hunting technology in the archaeological record, with origins from 400,000 years ago, before the evolution of our own species. Experimental archaeological approaches to early weaponry continue to grow, and both controlled and naturalistic experiments are...
