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德国、瑞士、奥地利和捷克共和国中欧马格达莱纳人的骨弹丸技术进行总结研究。其基础是一份详细和标准化的目录，其中包括来自68个考古遗址的所有已知抛射点（约1800年）、倒刺点（约80年）、半圆杆（约22年）和前兆（约13年）的测量和形式数据。他们的定量分析允许对那些重要工具类型的类型变化、时间顺序发展、工件传记和功能谱进行客观的可视化和评估。为了在文化背景下判断生物原料的具体结构和力学性能，开展了新材料科学研究。民族考古类比、实验考古研究和考古记录的整合，使得讨论旧石器时代晚期的原材料、武器设计和猎物物种之间的相互作用成为可能。

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.
