项目摘要

In the last ten years, the body of evidence in favor of Neandertal hunting has grown. The concurrence of the faunal data, the discovery of the Schöningen spears (Thieme 1997), that of a stone point embedded in a wild ass vertebra at Umm-el-Tlel (Boeda et al. 1999), and the ever-increasing evidence for hafting in the Middle Paleolithic suggests that hunting with projectile weapons is probably quite ancient. Despite much work on identifying fracture and wear patterns associated with stone projectile use, no unambiguous criteria for carrying out the Identifications exist. We argue that this is because previous studies have not sufficiently controlled for confounding factors, and we propose a rigorous experimental program which should enable us to create a reference collection of impact fractures. We propose to test the effect of speed/force and angle of impact on fracture patterns in identical glass copies of an archaeological Levallois point (controlling for shape and raw material fracture properties). The projectiles will be shot at homogeneous targets made of synthetic materials (ballistic gelatine and synthetic chamois) and bone. The projectiles will be first launched from a highprecision ballistic gun in a laboratory setting, and, in a second experiment, they will be attached to spear shafts and shot at the same targets using a calibrated crossbow. The points will be photographically documented and analyzed both macro and microscopically and the results published in several peer-reviewed journals. The database of fracture patterns will be made public on a dedicated website.

在过去的十年里，支持尼安德特人狩猎的证据越来越多。动物区系数据的一致性、舍宁根矛的发现（Thieme，1997）、乌姆埃勒特勒尔（Umm-el-Tlel）野驴脊椎骨中嵌入的石尖的发现（Boeda et al.，1999），以及不断增加的旧石器时代中期使用箭杆的证据表明，使用抛射武器狩猎可能相当古老。尽管在识别与石弹使用相关的断裂和磨损模式方面做了大量工作，但没有明确的标准来进行识别。我们认为，这是因为以前的研究没有充分控制混杂因素，我们提出了一个严格的实验方案，这应该使我们能够创建一个参考收集的冲击骨折。我们建议测试的速度/力和角度的影响，在相同的玻璃副本的考古Levallois点（控制形状和原材料的断裂性能）的断裂模式。这些炮弹将射向由合成材料（弹道明胶和合成麂皮）和骨头制成的均质目标。这些炮弹将首先在实验室环境中从高精度弹道炮发射，在第二次实验中，它们将被连接到矛杆上，并使用校准的瞄准器射击相同的目标。这些点将被记录下来，并进行宏观和微观分析，结果发表在几个同行评审的期刊上。骨折模式数据库将在一个专门网站上公布。
