Re: Special Issue: Excavations at Schöningen
Thanks, Chris.
That looks worthy of serious study.

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Re: Special Issue: Excavations at Schöningen
While the Schoningen Spears are not exactly news....they were first found in the 90's.... this article from last April expresses some interesting observations about the technical woodworking ability of the manufacturers some 300,000 ybp and no one is suggesting that they were HSS.

Neanderthals or an even older grouping?

First author Dr Dirk Leder from NLD says: "There is evidence of much more extensive and varied processing of spruce and pine wood than previously thought. Selected logs were shaped into spears and throwing sticks and brought to the site, while broken tools were repaired and recycled on site." At least 20 spears and throwing sticks had been left behind on the former lakeshore. This doubles the number of known wooden weapons at the site. Dr Tim Koddenberg from the University of Göttingen explains: "The extraordinary state of preservation of the Schöningen wood has enabled us, for the first time, to document and identify the woodworking techniques in detail thanks to state-of-the-art microscopy methods."
