[Bonetools] two interesting papers

[Christian Küchelmann]

Dear list members,

I recently came across an interesting paper about a lyra made from a  
tortoise carapace:

Forstenpointner, Gerhard / Galik, Alfred / Weissengruber, Gerald E.  
(2006): Die Lyra. Archäozoologisches zum Fund eines  
Schildkrötenpanzers. in: Scherrer, Peter & Trinkl, Elisabeth (eds.):  
Die Tetragonos Agora in Ephesos. Grabungsergebnisse von archaischer  
bis in byzantinische Zeit – Ein Überblick. Befunde und Funde  
kassischer Zeit., 256-260, 335, Wien
It can be downloaded from the WBRG-website at http://www.wbrg.net/ 
images/stories/references/Forstenpointner_et_al% 
202006_Tetragonos_Lyra.pdf

Further there is a recent publication that might be of interest:

Soressi, Marie / Rendu, William / Richards, Michael / Skinner,  
Matthew M. / Steele, Teresa E. / Talamo, Sahra / Texier, Jean- 
Pierre / McPherron, Shannon P. / Lenoir, Michel / Dogandzic, Tamara /  
Goldberg, Paul / Jacobs, Zenobia / Maigrot, Yolaine / Martisius,  
Naomi L. / Miller, Christopher E. (2013): Neandertals made the first  
specialized bone tools in Europe. – Proceedings of the National  
Academy of Sciences
