[Bonetools] projectile points from mollusc shell

[Clive Bonsall]

Dear Jørgen

Are you able to post some images of the projectile points?

I believe there may be some ethnographic parallels, tho' I'm not sure about comparanda made from the shells of bivalves. But it would help to see one pictures.

Best regards
