Similar hunting structures appear to have also been used in North and South America and even Scandinavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"see-also-expanded-sunday-hunting-movement-in-virginia-south-carolina-legislatures\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-expanded-sunday-hunting-movement-in-virginia-south-carolina-legislatures\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-archeologists-uncover-9000-year-old-large-scale-hunting-trap\" title=\"Archeologists Uncover 9,000-Year-Old Large-Scale Hunting Trap\">Expanded Sunday Hunting Movement in Virginia, South Carolina Legislatures<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This particular kite is among the best examples and attests to \u201cthe rise of extremely sophisticated mass&nbsp;hunting strategies, unexpected in such an early time frame,&#8221; SEBA added. Archeologists have dated it to around 7,000 B.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Along with the kite, archaeologists uncovered what appears to be a hunting camp. They found campsites with circular dwellings and large numbers of gazelle bones. The site also includes two stone slabs with anthropomorphic features, animal figurines, flints and some 150 arranged marine fossils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers believe the animal figurines were used to invoke supernatural forces for a successful hunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desert kites were first discovered by Royal Air Force pilots flying over the eastern desert of Jordan in the 1920s, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thoughtco.com\/desert-kites-ancient-hunting-technique-170599\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-archeologists-uncover-9000-year-old-large-scale-hunting-trap\" title=\"Archeologists Uncover 9,000-Year-Old Large-Scale Hunting Trap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>ThoughtCo<\/em><\/a>.

Low walls were often used or sometimes a row of posts with rag banners. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey make more sense when looked at from above,\u201d Shamil Amirov, an archaeologist who uses satellite imagery to map the colossal artifacts in western Uzbekistan, told <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/adventure\/article\/desert-kites-out-of-eden-walk-uzbekistan-iron-age-saiga\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-archeologists-uncover-9000-year-old-large-scale-hunting-trap\" title=\"Archeologists Uncover 9,000-Year-Old Large-Scale Hunting Trap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Geographic<\/a>.<\/em> \u201cMost are shaped like arrows.

Some hypothesized that they were used ritualistically. Others believed they could be used to herd livestock. The most recent scientific consensus, as exemplified by the latest discovery, suggests that kites were used for hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"
