Interpretations of Prehistoric Technology from Ancient Egyptian and other Sources. Part II : Prehistoric arrow forms in Africa as shown by surviving examples of the traditional arrows of the San Bushmen
Abstract
Flèches et arcs des San Bushmen de l'Afrique du Sud à l'époque historique sont décrits ici. Les têtes de flèches sont de deux types : à pointes en os ou à microlithes. Les microlithes sont insérés et maintenus par du bitume dos à dos dans une hampe en bois ; leurs extrémités distales sont juxtaposées ; leurs bords rectilignes assemblés pour former un tranchant large et acéré. Les découvertes archéologiques faites en Afrique subsaharienne et en Egypte suggèrent fortement que les flèches de l'époque historique à hampe en roseau ou plus rarement en bois sont des survivances de types traditionnels qui peuvent remonter à 15.000 ans. Les données ethnographiques et historiques replacées dans leur contexte peuvent être d'une grande utilité pour la compréhension de la technologie préhistorique et des comportements qui lui sont associés.

While the penetrating ability of double oblique points is relatively less than other designs, it is still sufficient to cause a fatal wound, particularly if poison was applied.
“At the same time, while their penetrating ability is relatively less than other designs it is still sufficient to cause a fatal wound, particularly if poison was applied (Clark, 1977).”
From Design and performance of microlith implemented projectiles during the Middle and the Late Epipaleolithic of the Levant: experimental and archaeological evidence (2010) · cites this paper as Clark, 1977
The discussion of traditional San arrow types (around p. 130) says that some bone-pointed arrows were poisoned, but does not identify double oblique points or assess their penetration or ability to cause fatal wounds. Searches for “double oblique,” penetration, and fatal wounds found no passage addressing that comparison. (LLM, conf=0.74)

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.
