There is a lot more info on the german article page de:Schöninger Speere -- triwbe ( talk) 18:51, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
It's not clear how anyone can be certain that these are throwing spears versus thrusting spears. If the original discovers discuss this, perhaps it can be translated and shared here?
These are dated by biostratigraphy which is hazarous since the accompanying game animals were extant much later. http://www.thesubversivearchaeologist.com/2012/10/shedding-new-light-on-schoningen-spears.html

I am not sure if the wording about carbon dating is accurate or pertinent to the discussion. At one point this was one of the sources used: http://www.creationstudies.org/operationsalt/carbon14.html, which is a religious page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.162.128.134 ( talk) 21:20, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
This Wikipedia entry was called out, specifically, in an article in The Atlantic earlier today. [1] The article questions the claim in the WP entry that "During tests, athletes could throw replicas up to 70 m (229.66 ft)." The Atlantic article states: "A Wikipedia entry that cites his study and claims that “athletes could throw replicas up to 70 meters” is almost certainly wrong." I lack the German language skills to check against the study and/or the pedagogical background to assess whether the study's own claim is unsupported. However, I am hoping someone with more skill in either area can examine the issue. Magic1million ( talk) 19:12, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
"a grant from the German Research Foundation (DFG) with funding of around €480,000" is discussed at https://sciencex.com/wire-news/361708446/schninger-spearsmankinds-earliest-wooden-weapons.html . Kdammers ( talk) 01:54, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
In Controversy section: “Sediment analysis shows that the red colour previously thought to be a result of hearths and burning are actually iron compounds forming as the lake levels dropped in recent times.”.
Claim should have a reference. LandonBee ( talk) 06:35, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi, there's also this photo File:Schöningen Speer VI © P. Pfarr NLD.jpg, which I think would be great if incorporated into the article. Jason Quinn ( talk) 00:04, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
