Abstract:		 Reports on some controlled experiments using a calibrated crossbow to thrust stone-tipped spears into animal carcasses, which reveal a relationship between Levallois point morphology and their performance as spear points. A comparative study of morphometric variation of Levallois points from Levantine Mousterian contexts supports the hypothesis that the demand for stone spear points was an important factor in Levallois point production.
