Özet
OpenAlex · İngilizce
This study is an assessment of Clovis spear thrusting penetration depth and entry wound size. This work is the fifth contribution in a series of experiments aimed at shedding light on the functional performance of distinct Clovis point forms. Here, using highly controlled and standardized procedures, we had a participant who had previously trained with bayonets and hand-to-hand combat thrust seven spears, each tipped with a distinct Clovis point form, into a ballistic gel target. Our statistical analysis of the 203 thrusts revealed, among several findings, that Clovis plan-view form does influence penetration depth and entry wound size. This result is consistent with the hypothesis that the functional selection of attributes could have contributed to Clovis point form variation.
