This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Many controlled archaeological weapons experiments have used homogenous target simulants to answer a variety of questions. Target simulants, however, must be shown to be scalable for the weapons we study; they must be shown to capture the same characteristics that make weapons effective in their original application. This paper presents original research...
