OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Before Baltimorewith Justin Tucker early this month, coach John Harbaugh said whatever the Ravens decided to do would be a football decision.

That doesn’t mean it was simple.Harbaugh was available to local reporters Wednesday for the first time since the Ravens announced May 5 they were releasing Tucker. The five-time All-Pro kicker had been accused by over a dozen massage therapists of inappropriate sexual behavior, according to. The NFL said it would investigate, but it’s not clear when that process will conclude.

“It was a complex decision-making process, and I’m a part of it,” Harbaugh said, adding that owner Steve Bisciotti, president Sashi Brown and executive vice president Ozzie Newsome were involved in the move, along with general manager Eric DeCosta.“You’re talking about arguably the best kicker in the history of the game, and like we said, it’s multilayered. It’s complicated, but in the end, it all comes back to what you have to do to get ready for your team to play the first game,” Harbaugh added. “I think if you step back and take a look at all the issues and all the ramifications, you can understand that we’ve got to get our football team ready, and we’ve got to have a kicker ready to go. That was the move that we decided to make, so in that sense, it’s a football decision.”

The Ravens drafted kicker Tyler Loop out of Arizona this offseason, and they also signed undrafted rookie kicker John Hoyland of Wyoming.

When the team moved on from Tucker, DeCosta released a statement citing “current roster” considerations as being part of the decision. Harbaugh is now suggesting that Tucker’s uncertain availability may have played a bigger role than his performance, which slipped noticeably for much of last season.Los huesos, a los que se dio forma de proyectiles angostos para la caza, fueron descubiertos en excavaciones que datan de hace más de un siglo en el Golfo de Vizcaya, cerca de España y Francia. Los científicos pensaban que las herramientas eran bastante antiguas, pero muchas eran pequeños fragmentos, por lo que era difícil determinar su edad.

Los avances tecnológicos de la última década han hecho posible datar las herramientas más antiguas en aproximadamente 20.000 años. Los científicos descubrieron que los huesos provenían de ballenas azules, ballenas de aleta, cachalotes y otras especies.Vicki Szabo de la Universidad de Western Carolina, quien estudia la historia de la caza de ballenas y no participó en la reciente investigación, afirma: “Los humanos y las ballenas claramente han estado encontrándose durante mucho tiempo”.

Los científicos piensan que los antiguos humanos fabricaban instrumentos de hueso de ballena en lugares como el Ártico y el Pacífico Sur. Existen pruebas sólidas de herramientas de ese material que datan de hace unos 5.000 años, pero la nueva investigación publicada el martes en la revista Nature Communications retrocede la línea de tiempo.Los antiguos humanos no necesariamente cazaban ballenas, dijo el autor del estudio, Jean-Marc Petillon, del Centro Nacional de Investigación Científica de Francia. Más probablemente, rebuscaban los cuerpos de los cetáceos varados y tallaban sus densos y pesados huesos para construir herramientas para cazar renos o bisontes.
