Les Natoufiens connaissaient-ils l'arc ?
Abstract
The bow has been known in some areas since ca. 8.500 B.C. and was possibly in use even much earlier. That bows were used by Natufian people (Q 10.500/8.300 B.C.) in Palestine is a problematic statement. While the pioneers researchers seem to have been doubtful on this issue the recent ones are receptive to it. In order to reach a balanced appraisal, one reviews the main categories of tools which would have been related to bows: lunates, bone points and grooved stones, looking for significant data. At the end no conclusive argument can be brought out and one must admit some kind of a probabilist answer.

Fractures initiating on a sharp edge were observed on lunates from Natufian sites.

No direct evidence of preserved weapons from the Late Pleistocene in the region were found.
“While no direct evidence of preserved weapons from the Late Pleistocene in the region were found (Valla, 1987), experiments with both weapon types have shown that spear and arrowheads receive similar types of fractures diagnostic of projectile impact (Fischer et al., 1984;Odell and Cowan, 1986;Cattelain, 1997).”

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.
