EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate reindeer harpoons used for fishing during the Magdalenian period, which spanned from 17000 to 11000 BC. The artifact is on display at the Museum of National Archaeology in Saint Germain en Laye, offering a glimpse into prehistoric times. The harpoons, skillfully crafted by our ancestors, serve as a testament to their resourcefulness and ingenuity. These tools were essential for survival as they enabled early humans to catch fish and sustain themselves in an era when hunting and gathering were paramount. The photograph beautifully captures the delicate details of these ancient harpoons, highlighting their importance in prehistoric art. Each carefully carved arm represents not only a functional tool but also a symbol of human creativity and adaptability. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back thousands of years to witness how our ancestors harnessed nature's resources for sustenance. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity and limited technology, humanity has always found innovative ways to thrive. This remarkable piece of archaeology invites us to reflect on our shared history and appreciate the timeless connection between mankind and its environment. Through this lens, we gain insight into our own journey as stewards of Earth's resources while honoring those who came before us.
