Archaeologists have found over a hundred bone arrow points at the Pleistocene cave site of Fa-Hien Lena in Sri Lanka. The artifacts were used to hunt tree-dwelling animals such as small monkeys and squirrels about 48,000 years ago and represent the earliest known bow-and-arrow technology outside of Africa.
