| Research Abstract |
This study attempts to reconstruct hunting evolution in East Asia and to confirm a relationship between the hunting methods and the formation patterns of impact fractures as well as microscopic linear impact traces (MLIT)based on projectile experiments. The projectile experiments show that the frequency of the impact fractures as well as MLITs, the dimension of the impact fractures, and the ratio of the specimens remained are strongly related with the impact velocities. All the results demonstrate that there are correlations between the formation patterns of impact fractures as well as MLITs and the impact velocities, which provide us with an opportunity for identifying the hunting methods employed.
