Lethal weapon

Only a rope tied the deadly point to a wooden beam shaft; this point was often notched; this weapon could deeply stick into the prey’s flesh. This was the harpoon, an ingenious weapon appeared in Europe at the end of the Paleolithic and used here on the valley floor lakes near the Adige River as well, 8,000 years ago, as shown by this extraordinary example made of deer antler found in the Romagnano Loc III Shelter.
