[Bonetools] seeking refs on seasonal bone & antler tool construction

[Eva David]

Dear Amy,
In the European Mesolithic (9th-8th mill. BC), our wild boar eaters are using large cervids preferentially for tool production and there is a dichotomic use of it ; antler for heavy duty tools versus bones for arms and light duty tools.



They even collected especially the metapodial bones for further tasks, site to site. See Leduc Charlotte (2010) « Acquisition et exploitation  des ressources animales au Maglemosien : Essai de reconstitution des chaînes opératoires globales d'exploitation d'après l'analyse des vestiges osseux des sites de Mullerup et Lundby Mose (Sjælland-Danemark) », dir. Prof. J. Burnouf, Paris I Sorbonne.

Best, éva
