    "Die Menschen, die vor ca. 300 000 Jahren am See von Schöningen
    lebten, waren spezialisierte und mobile Jäger und Sammler. Sie waren
    mit unterschiedlichen Distanzwaffen wie Wurfspeeren, Stoßlanzen
    und Wurfstöcken ausgerüstet."

    Scavenging was probably very common as well.

    I remember how there was a very old mammoth found in Siberia, older
    than we might expect for humans to be tramping around, and it showed
    signs of being partially butchered. I suggested that humans ran
    across it 10,000 years after it died -- maybe longer -- and though it might
    be a recent death, given it's state of preservations, and decided to make
    a meal of it... probably not very successfully.

    This is also why when people go off about a mammoth kill site I always
    ask how they know they killed it, and didn't just butcher it?

    Seems to me that if you're a human and you come across what looks like
    a dead animal, especially a dangerous one, you lay into it with your
    spears! You want to make sure that bugger isn't going to wake up and
    do a pounding of your little Hss head into the dirt...
