STONE BLADE AND ARROW
While it is impossible to
the very origins of human kind. While it is impossible to date when distinctly
worked stone blades first appeared in the world, it seems to have occurred
circa 30,000 B.C.E.
The technique that evolved to create sharp stones is now called litchi
reduction. This involves the use of an implement to strike a stone block in
order to break off flakes.
Such flakes will be
naturally sharp and can be turned into to range of useful tools and weapons
such as scrapers, scythes, knives, arrow heads, or spear points.
Some early
toolmakers may also have used what was left of the stone block to make.
Various Techniques
Various kinds of stone were
used to make blades, although one of the most popular was flint leading to the
term "flit knapper" to describe anyone making stone blades by litchi
reduction .
As the techniques of flint knapping developed particularly the use
of repetitive blows at particular angles , the craftsmen were able to
gain much greater control over the size, sharpness, and type of blade.
The period after the end of
the last ice age, 10,000 years ago , was characterized by increasingly sophisticated
stone tools with multiple uses .
Other tools were produced
using blades, known as micro liths, became part of wooden cutting implements
for use in farming, as well as barbs on arrows and spears, making them
particularly effective as hunting weapons.
BOW AND ARROW: - Evidence of the early use of bows and arrows
hs been found in cave paintings in western Europe and North Africa.
Its development probably arose
in the Upper old stone age around 20,000 B.C.E, When people realized that
the weapon would enable hunters to kill outside their throwing range.
Brows and arrows were portable, easy to make, and the materials to
make them were relatively easy to obtain.
The Type of Arrow
The arrow was thin shaft of wood. Sharpened at one end, with
feathers attached to other to give it aerodynamic stability.
Arrowheads were made from flint or other rocks , antler, or bone .
Modern bows are made from fiberglass, carbon, and
aluminum as well as wood , while the arrows are usually made composite materials
Some early
toolmakers may also have used what was left of the stone block to make.
The Type of Arrow
SHARP STONE BLADE: - The use of stone instruments more than two
million years ago heralded what we call the stone Age and the very originals of
humankind.
