Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Traces the evolution of the bow from its Palaeolithic beginnings, through European and Asian modifications up to around four hundred years ago. The Neolithic yew longbow from Meare Heath, radiocarbon dated to c 2690 BC, and sixteenth century examples found on the Mary Rose are described. Modifications in bow design were made according to the available raw materials and functional requirements of its users. The bow was the most effective missile firing agent available until the advent of firearms in the sixteenth century. | ||||||
