[Bonetools] (Fwd) [ZOOARCH] worked camel bones

[Dr. Cornelia Becker]

Lieber Christian! Während meiner doch recht vielen Wochen auf Ausgrabungen
in Jordanien und Syrien habe ich häufiger Leute getroffen, die Kamelknochen
als Rohmaterial für Schnitzarbeiten verwendet haben. Iinsofern kann ich
deine Informationen aus eigener Anschauung bestätigen. Einmla habe ich in
Jordanien einen Nomaden getroffen, der Produkte aus Kamelknochen hergestellt
hat, vor allem Ketten aus verschieden großen Einzelelementen. Sie wurden
gedrechselt und dann per Hand verziert. Liebe Grüße aus Berlin, Cornelia
