(first published in the Journal of the Society of Archer-Antiquaries, vol 53, 2010) Of a bow from the Yanghai Cemetery (1000-400BCE): "The splices were all scarf joints, not the common (or perhaps later) V-splice, often found in the composite bows. Since the V-splice requires a hand saw to cut the female part of the V, one can speculate the saws of sufficient quality were either unknown or not yet common in Central Asia at the time."
