EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the past - Staghorn harpoons discovered in the Urdax Caves. These ancient tools, dating back to the Upper Paleolithic period, provide us with valuable insights into the hunter-gatherer culture of that time. The Staghorn harpoons featured in this image are truly extraordinary. With a double row of teeth and a circular section, they were ingeniously designed for throwing and fishing purposes. The craftsmanship exhibited in their manufacturing is a testament to the advanced skills possessed by our ancestors. Displayed at the Museum of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain, these bone harpoons offer a glimpse into prehistoric society's everyday life. They served as offensive weapons during hunting expeditions and played an essential role in securing food resources for survival. The horizontal composition of this photograph emphasizes both the superior quality and aesthetic appeal of these artifacts. The rich color palette further enhances their visual impact, allowing us to appreciate their beauty even after thousands of years. As we admire this archaeological treasure captured by Santiago Ortega's lens, it reminds us how far humanity has come since those early days. It also serves as a reminder that history holds countless mysteries waiting to be unraveled through careful exploration and study.
