Hunters at Hengistbury: Some evidence from experimental archaeology
Abstract
The first part of this paper describes arrow‐firing experiments using copies of English Mesolithic points slotted into arrowshafts and shot into an animal carcass. ‘Impact fractures’ on the experimental flint points are compared with breakages observed on several microliths from the Powell Mesolithic site at Hengistbury Head, in Dorset. In the second part, the authors examine artefact distribution patterns from the Mace/Campbell Upper Palaeolithic site at Hengistbury and compare them briefly with those from the Belgian site of Meer, also in sands. In addition, some recent flint‐scatter experiments in sands are described and their relevance to site formation processes discussed.

The most common projectile damage described in experiments are bending and spin-off fractures that initiate either on a dorsal or ventral surface and continue parallel to the longitudinal axis of the point, removing part of its surface or part of its lateral edge.

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.
