Interesting.
boomerang?................
Maybe this cave was the first Cabelas/Bass Pro Shop?..................
Too bad there’s nothing inserted to give a sense of scale.
Surprised there’s no ready evidence of a sling.
Cave, boat accident. What’s the diff?
Walking a friend’s ranch near Marfa after a heavy rain often reveals arrowheads scattered across the surface, sometimes dozens in an hour, other times none at all. I Imagine the cycles of human presence and then absence over thousands of years.
Periods of intense activity and toolmaking, hunting, and long stretches of silence.
When we find none, we don’t say much, but wonder when it was that no one was there any why.
I’d love to know what poison they used on the darts. Plant or animal origin?
Also, why did they leave the kit there? Being hunted by someone or something else and had to get out fast?
Their His arsenal consisted of a throwing spear, . . .
A person came to the back of the cave and went through their his hunting gear . . ."

Stop with the caveman political correctness!!!
Could he be a remnant of the Clovis people?
So it was found in a place called the San Esteban Rockshelter. I was trying to find more on the cave. But I don’t find much information on it. It does not sound like have any really deep caves there. But it would be interesting to know more about the geography of the cave.
How can anyone see a weapon in that? Looks more like a sewing kit.
They somehow missed a copy of the original lyrics mentioning the second week of deer camp, but it was skillfully hidden.......
Here is something interesting in the Site Summary...
“In the summer of 2020, Odyssey continued testing at the San Esteban Rockshelter, opening up a new excavation area deeper into the shelter and between fallen boulders. The 2020 excavations in the “Sandal Shaft” revealed intact sedimentary and archaeological deposits that span the Holocene and may date back to ca. 15,000 years ago. Also recovered in the Sandal Shaft were six atlatl foreshafts and darts dating to ca. 6,200 cal yr B.P., potentially representing the earliest atlatl cache in the Americas. More significantly, >a hearth-like feature containing burned and unburned bird eggshells dated to ca. 15,200 cal yr B.P., suggesting potential for a pre-Clovis occupation.< Block B was expanded, revealing more intact deposits dating from the post Euro-American contact period to the Late Archaic.”

What, no Buck knife?
Simpler days may have been better times. I wonder what future archeologists will think of my “bug-ou bag”.
Vast hearts roamed the continent, game was thick and as it grazed the nomadic hunters maintained the pace and hunted them. There was no downtime, no extracurricular activities. Life was simple, but revolved around the herds and flocks. Eat, sleep, hunt, maintain the tools needed for success.
But the Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Ranger Model air rifle that young Ugg junior wanted wasn’t there ...
