Dear all,
Could somebody tell me from what period comes the earliest evidence of composite bow construction ? Assyrian ? Xiongnu ? Ice age ?

The earliest evidence in art of composite bows is the stele of Naram Sin who was a king of the Akkadian Dynasty in Mesopotamia in the late third millennium BC.
