... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... . I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer. Hank Thoreau, 1857

that length of cord was identified as vegetal (probably linden bark) and with a diameter not suitable for a bow string
Now they say it's sinew and perfect for a bow. I wonder if it's the last shocking revelation or if others will follow
