I think this have been mentioned before, but here goes. In 2011 under excavations of an now under sea level stone age site in Hjarnø sund in Horsens fjord Denmark, among other things a 3/4 of an Elm bow was found. I have made a bow after that find, it is not a copy or replica, but have the same shape. In lack of good Elm I made it in Ash. There was no trace of a string notch in the one surviving tip of the original, but I made string notches, I also made mine longer than the original.It is C14 dated to 5200-5400 BC and was in good shape, but if some of it had been eaten away after all the years in the mud is hard to say.
The first pic is from the back. The bow on the left is an ordinary longbow made from European Hornbeam.
