While " most attributes such as micro-residue distribution patterns and micro-wear will develop similarly on points used to tip spears, darts or arrows " and " explicit tests for distinctions between thrown spears and projected arrows have not yet been conducted " the researchers find " contextual support " for the use of these points on arrows : a broad range of animals were hunted, with an emphasis on taxa that prefer closed forested niches, including fast moving, terrestrial and arboreal animals.
