Taking advantage of a rainy afternoon to give this a chance. Has anyone read it? My expectations are rather high considering the amount of work that's been published on this topic in archaeology and paleoanthropology...

It was swag given out by Antiquity at a conference, if I'm not mistaken.

Tiny wonder! Sharp little flint flake from the final Pleistocene/ early Holocene levels recovered during my team's archaeological excavations at Arene Candide Cave, Italy! #FlintFriday 🏺

I wish I could travel back in time to tell 12yo me that his maniacally detailed D&D derived terminology about polearms (in French, no less!) featured prominently in an interview on prehistoric weapons I gave today! Take that, 80s moral panic about RPGs 😅
