| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study conducted projectile experiments in order to test correlation between impact trace patterns on stone tips and impact velocities, which allow us to detect emergence of long-range projectile hunting using spearthrower or bow that were often disappeared due to acid sediment in East Asia. The analysis of the experimental specimens provided proxies for identifying long-range hunting armatures based on the impact trace patterns. Furthermore, the investigation of archaeological assemblages suggested that long-range hunting has already been practiced by East Asian modern human groups from the early Upper Palaeolithic.
