That early? I have them as early 5th century?

Chapman's catalogue of finds (BAR British Series 388) states all the bow parts (in the museum collection) were found in one building of the third century rampart building, so no later than 3rd C. They were found with what is believed to be the raw materials (animal bone) and it is also suggested that the room was used for their production.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
