Abstract
Archery goes up the wall: a gentle probe into prehistoric cave paintings
Bill Tucker
31 - 36
Looks at the evidence for prehistoric archery depicted in rock art. Although many Palaeolithic rock-art traditions did not include human figures in their repertoire, the use of archery is attested by depictions of wounds on animal subjects in the Dordogne and Lascaux regions of France. Bows are evinced in figurative paintings from the Mesolithic to Bronze Age in Spanish Levant and North Africa. Some paintings seem to show highly braced recurved bows. Further evidence is found in Southern Africa, North America and China.
A Mesolithic elm bow approximately 9000 years old: some views on its design, the choice of wood. Its construction and finally some comments on shooting it
Flemming Alrune
47 - 50
Begins by reporting the circumstances of the find of a bow and fragments of arrows, dated to 7000--7400 BC, at Holmgaard Mose in 1943. The bow is described in detail and the technological aspects are then considered in the light of the author's experience of making and using replicas of this type of bow.
Acoustic targets for the crossbow
Howard L Blackmore
51 - 53
A short account includes illustrated examples of targets which were designed to set off a small gunpowder charge when the bullseye was hit.
