Raw material. Weapon. Prey: Comparative analysis of the osseous projectile technology of the Central European Magdalenian

这项为期三年的研究项目的目标是对中欧马格达勒尼亚人在德国、瑞士、奥地利和捷克共和国的骨弹技术进行总结研究。其基础是一份详细和标准化的目录，其中包括68个考古遗址的所有已知抛射点(约1.800个)、带刺尖点(约80个)、半圆棒(约22个)和前廊(约13个)的计量和正式数据。它们的定量分析可以客观地显示和评估这些重要工具类型的类型差异、年代学发展、人工制品传记和功能谱。为了在文化背景下判断生物原料的特定结构和力学性能，开展了新材料-科学调查。民族-考古类比、实验-考古研究和考古记录的结合使旧石器时代晚期原材料、武器设计和猎物物种之间的相互作用的讨论成为可能。

The objective of this three-year research project is a summarizing study of the osseous projectile technology of the Central European Magdalenian in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Czech Republic. The basis is a detailed and standardized catalogue comprising the metrical and formal data of all known projectile points (ca. 1.800), barbed points (ca. 80), half-round rods (ca. 22), and foreshafts (ca. 13) from 68 archaeological sites. Their quantitative analysis allows an objective visualization and evaluation of typological variance, chronological development, artifact biographies and functional spectra for those important tool types. To judge the specific structural and mechanical properties of biological raw materials against a cultural background, new materials-scientific investigations are carried out. The integration of ethno-archaeological analogies, experimental-archaeological studies and the archaeozoological record renders the discussion of the interactions between the raw material, weapon design and prey species for the Upper Paleolithic possible.
