[Bonetools] forwarded question

[Anne Brundle]

Andrea Smith's account of perforated phalanges from Pool and other sites in Orkney also supports the theory that they are probably gnawed.

I would agree. It is similar to canid gnawed material that I have seen.

Hi René, dear all,

This paper deals with perforated phalanges:
Uerpmann, Hans-Peter (1969): Untersuchungen zu den Kleinfunden aus  
S'Illot (Mallorca). - Madrider Mitteilungen 10, 139-140, Tafel

But looking at the shown specimen I have to admit that the irregular  
perforation appears to me like a carnivore puncture. Especially as  
the edges of the bone show a texture that looks like digestive acid  
corrosion.

Best

Christian
