[Bonetools] Bone projectile points with burned tip

[Jean-Marc Petillon]

Dear all,

I am forwarding a question from Matías Medina <paleomedina at yahoo.com.ar>
[a friend of yours, Natacha, as far as I understood ;-)] :

> I work in central Argentina. I saw bone projectile point with the
> burned tip… what do you known about it? Do you have PDF articles
> about it?

It raises - again - the question of heat treatment applied to osseous
tools. I could not do much more than mention one recent article
(http://archeosciences.revues.org/3137). If you have any ideas, please
respond to both Matías and the bonetools list.

Best,

Jean-Marc
