About: Hafting

An Entity of Type: Election, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Hafting is a process by which an artifact, often bone, stone, or metal is attached to a haft (handle or strap). This makes the artifact more useful by allowing it to be shot (arrow), thrown by hand (spear), or used with more effective leverage (axe). When constructed properly, hafting can tremendously improve a weapon's damage and range. It is estimated that hafted weapons were most common during the Upper Paleolithic and Middle Paleolithic. It was one of the first tools where hominins took separate elements and united them into a single tool. The development of hafting is considered by archaeologists to have been a significant milestone. It was not only an improvement in the technology at the time; it also showed the progression of the human mind toward a world of complex tool-making.

dbo:abstract
  • In der ur- und frühgeschichtlichen Archäologie versteht man unter Schäftung verschiedene während der Vor- und Frühgeschichte angewendete Verbindungstechniken. Mehrere (meist zwei) Teile werden durch Schäftung zu einem komplexeren Gerät verbunden. In der Vor- und Frühgeschichte wurden Werkzeuge oder Waffen mit einem Griffteil verbunden. Durch die Schäftung wurde die Handhabung des Geräts ermöglicht oder die Wirksamkeit erhöht. Bei Jagdwaffen wurden Kraftwirkung und Reichweite verbessert. Der Griffteil des Werkzeugs oder der Waffe wird als Schaft bezeichnet. Ein länglicher Werkzeugschaft wird auch Stiel genannt. Bei Langwaffen wie Speeren oder Lanzen spricht man generell von Schaft. In der Steinzeit bestanden Schäfte aus Holz, Geweih, Knochen, Horn oder Elfenbein. Der Schaft ist mit der Klinge oder Spitze verbunden, die ab der Bronzezeit aus Metall bestehen kann. Man bezeichnet geschäftete Geräte auch als zusammengesetzte Geräte oder Kompositgeräte. Letztere sind nicht zu verwechseln mit Kombinationsgeräten, dies sind Multifunktionsgeräte). (de)

It was not only an improvement in the technology at the time; it also showed the progression of the human mind toward a world of complex tool-making. Hafting weapons is perhaps best known for its use by humans in prehistory, but it is still practiced by enthusiasts today and the handle of a tool such as an axe is still known as a haft. Many people still practice the hafting techniques by using old-fashioned methods to figure out the best way to attach a handle onto tools, while improving the overall structure and function. Hafting has evolved through the past and the idea can still be seen in the structure of modern-day tools such as hammers and axes. The evolution of hand tools would be greatly altered had the people of our past failed to invent the idea of hafting. The methods and processes of hafting have also varied and evolved over time. (en)
