Hmmm.. aluminum, eh?

UK club practices long-lost tradition, creates own hunting tool | The Kentucky Kernel

Apparently, "Typical prehistoric darts were made from materials such as river cane, aluminum and fishing pole material."

I've been overlooking some possibilities, I guess....

Those ancients never wasted anything...

I also like: "To balance the arrow, artificial sinew (a tissue used to connect muscle to bone or bone to bone) is wrapped around each end of the dart."

So if artificial sinew comes from connective tissues, where does real sinew come from? Probably Walmart where the ancients got their aluminum and fishing poles.
