Mesolithic cutting arrows: functional analysis of arrows used in the hunting of large game
Abstract
Arrowheads and projectile points, with their elegant shapes, are the very stuff of archaeological classification. But do the classes relate usefuly, or at all, to real differences in arrowhead purpose or efficiency? Modern and Mesolithic arrowheads are studied with their killing purpose in mind

In order to produce a deep wound, the arrowhead must penetrate the hide as well as cut an opening wide enough to allow the shaft to enter with negligible friction.
“In order to produce a deep wound the arrowhead must penetrate the hide as well as cut an opening which would be wide enough to allow the shaft to enter with negligible friction (Friis-Hunsen, 1990).”

The low values of penetrating abilities shown by double oblique points, a design providing considerable width of the projectile head, can be explained by the wide angle of their frontal tip.

Self-pointed arrows with numerous lateral blades combine all the characteristics of efficient cutting projectiles, as attachment of lateral blades along both sides of the shaft increases the width of the projectile head and the long sharp edges formed by the lateral blades reduce friction, thus enhancing penetrating abilities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
