Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Presents data from sling experiments carried out in Puno, Perú among Quechua-speaking herders who are experienced slingers. The results are argued to demonstrate that a prior model of the maximum theoretical distance of sling cast stones underestimates their range. Results also show significant differences in the use of slings by men and women, and by different age groups. It is suggested that these data could usefully be applied to the study of warfare at hillforts. | ||
