[Bonetools] Bonetools Digest, Vol 49, Issue 4

[Sian]

Hi Steve,

Antler tools were found in a Bronze Age burial of three children in a cave, 
Ogaf Rhiwleydyn, on the Little Orme in North Wales (Davies,1989:98).

Check out:

Davies, M. 1989, Cave Archaeology in Wales, in Ford, D.T. (Ed), Limestones 
and Caves of Wales, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 92-101.

Antler tools like that one are a common find around mine sites, although at 
my mine (on the Great Orme) it doesn't seem to be the weapon of choice!  An 
antler pick has been found at Cwmystwyth Mine though (Timberlake, S. 2003, 
Excavations on Copa Hill, Cwmystwyth (1986-1999), BAR British Series 348).

Hope this helps,

Sian
