Arrowheads, needles, hooks and harpoons. Culture: Japan. Dimensions: W. 3/4 in. (1.9 cm); L. 3 7/8 in. (9.8 cm).These implements--an arrowhead, fishhooks, needle, and harpoon--were skillfully carved from bone, a material worked by Japanese artisans since Paleolithic times. They were found in the Obara Shell Mound at Ofunato Bay in Iwate Prefecture. According to information gleaned from shell mounds, or middens, the people of the Jomon period relied on a variety of strategies to obtain food. The large number of fishhooks, fashioned with and without barbs, together with the rich array of marine remains found in these rubbish heaps since very early times indicate that some fifty species of fish and shellfish constituted an essential dietary staple. Toggle-head harpoons, a later innovation, facilitated the hunting of sea mammals. Attaching a line to the toggle allowed the hunter to draw in his prey once the toggle had broken away from the harpoon shaft. Further evidence gathered from thes

Surveyor's Stake from a Foundation Deposit for Hatshepsut's Temple ca. 1479-1458 B.C. New Kingdom The Egyptian foundation ceremony was called "the stretching of the cord."

Horn ca. 1874 Zulu Most Sub-Saharan horns and trumpets are blown from the side rather than from the tip where they may be pierced to allow the player to sound different notes by opening and closing the end hole. Depending on regional tradition, blowholes may have a distinctive shape and appear on the concave or convex curve of the tube. Despite diminished importance as military signal instruments, side-blown horns remain a symbol of power and retain an important position in royal regalia. They are played singly or more often, in a large ensemble.. Horn 501080

Prick Spur 6th-7th century Longobardic As in all the Germanic cultures, horses had great importance in the Longobardic society, in both its social and religious aspects. Equestrian equipment, like stirrups, spurs and bits, are regularly found in their traditional burials, among the goods warriors wanted to bring with them to the afterlife. The elite would sometimes even be accompanied by sacrificed horses, a meaningful practice at that time, considering the high economic value of horses.This spur has been found at Castiglione del Lago, Italy.The prick spur was the first type of spur to be invented, and it consists of a goad or prick, more or less pointed (missing here), connected to side arms or a heel plate. The earliest spurs were probably simple thorns attached at the back of the heel, before they started to be made out of metal in antiquity. Prick spurs were the main type of spurs used in the Middle Ages until the mid-14th century, when they were supplanted by rowel spurs, which ap
