Nope. Mercy-kill him.

Flesh is rotting, he has a gangrene. Nothing can helps him now.

Not necessarily gangrene, but wound infections were back then practically a death sentence.

A very slow, painful death sentence.

Sorry, I didn't found a better word for german "Wundbrand" (really old word) , which covers every infection inflicted by wounds. Roughly, you could translate it as wound-fire. Huh.

Still mercy-kill. We can't save him, sadly.

Wikipedia says copper has been known for ~10.000 years, so it would be in our timmeframe. Hooray!

Also, let the new people join, and let the wounded guy live - mercy-killing him might be seen as a hostile act.
Get specialized farmers, fishers and warriors - whoever wounded that guy might want to also wound us.

Look for trees, try to invent boats (would make fishers more effective).

He probably has fever and wouldn't do it much longer. He can't even walk. So, we want to let him die a slowly, pitiful, painful and shameless death or end his life in pride?

Why not ask him what we should do? Ask how far gone he has to be before being given mercy.

In the meantime, wash the wound, try to take care of it.

Yup, sounds good. Definitely better than simply, you know, stabbing him :D

just remember- you may follow it and promote it, that doesn't mean everyone else in the tribe will, too.
Let's just go lassez-faire on religion until one has emerged as dominant (which I hope will happen, hint hint ;)); then, crush the infidels.

Also, stabbing is always a good idea? Who are you, Belkar?

Convert to paganism, if we wait till later and discover our own religion that will cause conflict between us and the other tribe.

Convert, slowly move to monotheism.

(Nature spirits --> Earth mother ---> greek/roman-style pantheon ----> monotheistic god in whose name we shall commit horrible atrocities! )

That's not really how it worked though, the Hebrew were fairly monotheistic from the beginning, it was the Diaspora that started converting everyone else.
Then christianity took over. It was almost usurped by Islam, but Islam began too late, I think. The enlightenment hit before it could convert enough people to be bigger than Christianity.
