Throw sticks in Canaan/Levant
Has anyone ever made a period throw stick or done much study on their use in the Bronze and Iron Ages?
Interested and trying to start up a conversation.

Thank you,
John
I haven't, but I am really interested in the Australian aboriginal ones. My understanding is that throwsticks fell out of favour because of developments in bows and arrows and that never happened in Australia - instead they continued to develop throwsticks into their most advanced forms (such as the famous boomerang). I don't know why exactly, but maybe a kylie (a type of throwstick) is a better for taking out an emu, kangaroo, etc.? It's something I interested in but don't know much about...
