[Bonetools] Magdalenian projectile element made from whale bone - Andernach (Germany)

[Margaris, Amy V.]

Michelle: I very much look forward to reading your article.
Continuing along a somewhat similar thread, here is a new paper on the uses
of whale bone (and other osseous materials) for technological purposes.
The case study is from sub-arctic Alaska where cetacean bone is, by
contrast, readily available.
Enjoy,
Amy
