New: writer doing research,

Greetings all! I'm a writer working on a historical or perhaps prehistorical would be a better term; novel set in the Aurignacian period in South Central France. I'm interested in the history (how far back) we can realistically place slings and atlatls and batons. Toying with the idea that thong-throwing as described in Primitive Technology: A Book Of Earth Skills (1999) may have been a technology which preceded the sling and may have been current in the period.

Good luck with your research. The question of when slings may have first come into use is definitely a hard one to answer.

Howdy from South Texas!

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler
