A groundbreaking study of 7,000-year-old remains from the Neolithic period has revealed the surprisingly early technical mastery of early Iberian societies in archery. Archaeologists, led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), examined artifacts preserved in the Cave of Los Murciélagos near Albuñol, Granada. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, showcase the earliest bowstrings ever found in Europe, alongside arrows crafted with extraordinary precision.
The preservation of organic materials in the cave—due to its dry conditions—allowed researchers to uncover artifacts such as bowstrings made from animal tendons, arrows featuring original feathers, and shafts coated with birch bark pitch. These discoveries shed light on the advanced techniques and resourcefulness of early agricultural communities in southwestern Europe.
