[Bonetools] scapula from Mongolia

[Alice Choyke]

Of interest might be the EBA thong stretching tools first published by
Sandra Olsen in the Crafting Bones volume of the Budapest WBRG conference
(BAR 2001). These thong strechers from Khazakstan were made on the aboral
parts of horse mandibles. Sandra did experimental work on them and examined
both the experimental material and the archaeological materia at high
magnifications. she came to the conclusion that they were designed to make
leather straps supple. At the same time of range of similar artifacts can be
found from Slovenia into Hungary and beyond into  (in the Czech case as well
slighty later than Sandra's material in Khazakstan). The earliest such
object in Hungary dates to middle Bell-Beaker times to around 2500 BC.

Best,
Alice
