| Abstract: |
Previous studies of these artefacts have usually passed over in silence many methodological problems and issues that attend them. Typically they have proposed generalizations based on small or very small samples, and these ill-founded generalizations then find their way into the wider literature and enthusiast websites. This paper explains the problems with such an approach. It is based on study of over 1400 published and unpublished specimens. It then argues that glandes were produced as catapult ammunition. |
