Recent Research on New Guinea Bone Daggers
Greetings,
Though not my area, these bone daggers I do find interesting. Here is a recent research article (which I turned into a pdf file) and a link to the original: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/...098/rsos.172067 Enjoy |

Interesting how yataghan-looking the pommel ends look. Parallel evolution?

Perhaps. I also look at function - the formation of the joint end makes for a good and natural hand stop like a yataghan.
