Prehistoric hunting tools


Analyze pre-historic of 







Dominance - about spear they're many kinds of spear and there are many kinds different of spear for example some kind of spear has pointy end but while the other kinds are arrow form. So dominance of spear is about the sharp end of the spear.

Contrast - The first spear made by wood. So that make it rough and easily broken   
After that human use new material such as bamboo to make a spear that make it 
Smooth texture and use metal to make it stronger.

Balance - usually spear were made by wood or bamboo at the handle or middle of spear and at the sharp end are made by metal. So at the handle human will make it long to make it has the same weight as sharp end. Then human can throw or stab spear with balance and suitable weight

Purpose - the reason that human make spear for kill or hunt animal. They can throw or stab because spear are design for kill long range

This design is make by stone and metal for kill and hunt. After that human develop spear to new weapon that we call "Arrow"

Mesopotamia hunting tools


Mesopotamia hunting tools



    In Mesopotamia period. The arrows were made of pine and consisted of a mainshaft and a 15-20 centimetre (6-8 inches) long foreshaft with a flint point. There are no known definite earlier bows or arrows, but stone points which may have been arrowheads. The inspiration thing that made human in this period is a spear. They make a arrow that form look like a spear but smaller than spear for convenient to shoot it. That make this weapon can attack from long range and that to safe from dangerous animals.


    First for the material to made bow and arrow in this period. Bows were made of any springy material, including bamboo as well as various types of wood, and the bowstrings were made of animal gut. Arrows, which were normally made of wood shafts, were tipped with arrowheads were first made of burnt wood, then stone or bone.

For balance in bow and arrow is about balance in weight with there material 
Example a bow there made from wood or bamboo that very hard because it had to resist when they bend a bow and use an animal guts to make bowstrings that can pull when they bend a bow that make them balance and not fail. For arrow they use a stone or metal to make arrowhead that make a heavy weight at head. They use hard wood and be proper length to make it can hurl



     Thridly for movement about bow is curve. The material that use to made bow is hard wood and bamboo and for bowstrings is an animal gut but there two are very hard for use when they want to use they have to pull it in curve form that a good movement. For arrow went they shoot the arrow it not hurl in straight line. But it move curve and straight combine together.

Purpose : in mesopotamia they made hunting tools like bow and arrow that develop from spear to hunt animals for live and they can hunt from long range that make they safe from dangerous animal and for powerful in there tribe.

Egypt hunting tools


Egyptian hunting tools




  




   For Egyptian this period is more religion and about art and pattern. The Egyptians wielded a number of different tools in the hunt: spears, arrows, throw-sticks, nets which had been driven into a wadi and a boomerang type of weapon to take down birds from the sky. Hunting in the marshes included fowling, fishing and possibly the killing of hippopotami. The techniques of the hunt and its pleasures are summed up in a fragmentary papyrus called The Pleasures of Fishing and Fowlin. Hunting provided a lot of different things to the ancient Egyptians. It wasnt just meat and skins, but a chance to prove ones prowess and enjoy the camaraderie of friends on the hunt.

    For a unity in hunting tools in this period is in dagger or sword. In the picture A dagger were made by gold all of it even if scabbard it had pattern at the scabbard and handle too. That mean Egypt period was learning and have more art and design than mesopotamia but some art is like mesopotamia 

    About a dominance in this period is pattern and shape. Example in the picture a sword and dagger made from gold or metal and their had pattern that design for beautiful or artistic and for shape that  make it curve or make for look great in design that mean Egypt take an interest about art and design


   For boomerang is a hunting tools in Egypt period. It is a weapon that have more balance when they throw it. It can spin around itself for make force to hurl and then it can spin until it curve and turn     back to person who throw it. That because it had balance to make it spin around and turn back.
