I remember visiting LA’s La Brea tarpits as a kid.
The sassy tour guide, talked about the animals found in the tar, but also mentioned the human skeletons found there, with arrow or knife wounds.
He then said: “So as you can see, Los Angeles hasn’t changed much in 10,000 years”

How many arrowheads?
If more than one, maybe it was suicide.

His bow went off when he was cleaning it.

This embedded arrowhead offers the first unambiguous evidence of a violent encounter. Or a hunting accident.

The Democrat [Nationalizing-Socialsm] Party, a bedrock of racism, forbears all turf wars . . . except WHITE <— a deplorable “color” . . . until a Democrat finds itself at the mercy of the consequences of the Democrat’s rhetoric and voting history.
Such Democrat Color Revolutions are that party’s foreign and domestic policy and “blood sport” <— claimed to be “mostly peaceful” but proven otherwise.

Hunting accident. An ancestor of Dick Cheney, no doubt.

“unambiguous evidence of a violent encounter”
He was such a good kid and was getting his life back on track and was an aspiring rapper.

The point being, that alleged “progressive” champions of not using fur, would find themselves using fur, killing animals, burning fossil fuel, and wishing they had steel tools and weapons!

To: shelterguy
No, but someone else could have been shooting and he accidentally steppedin front of the arrow. Or, contrary to his mother’s advice, he could have been running and fell on it.
