SUMMARY In 1986, a small hook made in reindeer antler was found in the Upper Solutrean level of the Combe- Saunière 1 cave (Dordogne). The morphology and dimensions of the object denote a perfect integration within the series of palaeolithic and precolumbian spearthrowers in antler. It shows a particular similarity with three palaeolithic spearthrowers found in the Placard cave (Charentes) in the XlXth century. Experimental reconstruction demonstrates it's efficiency.
