This is big news. Suspected for ages -- but looks like we've found a smoking .. spear point?
Extremely exciting - first comprehensively identified bone spear point from a #Neanderthal site! Found some time ago at Abric Romaní, northern Iberia, but recently analysed in detail, likely hafted by being held directly in wood shaft & fixed with (plant?) cord. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
