The bow is 108 cm long and has a plano-convex section and is made out of yew wood (Taxus baccata) as were the majority of Neolithic bows so far discovered in Europe.

Of all the tools disinterred at La Draga, those that caused the greatest excitement were possibly two bows made from yew found in 2001 and 2003 respectively (Fig. 20). One is 105 cm long, 3.4 cm wide and 2.2 cm thick, with an oval cross-section. The surface is lightly polished and the tips to which the string was attached have not sur- vived. The other is only 35 cm long, 2.8 cm wide and 1 cm thick and the cross-section is plano-convex. In this case one of the tips still bears the two notches to which one end of the string was fixed. The string was probably made of animal gut or plant fibres. These two Neolithic bows from La Draga — along with some from the Linear Pottery Cul- ture of Central Europe, such as grave 704-706 at the
chwanfeld necropolis13 — are probably among the oldest in Europe.14
