[Bonetools] neolithic archer's rings

[trzaska at lineone.net]

Hello Fotis,

I haven's seen any antler rings of that date but in Britain we do have stone bracers for archery, 
beautifully catalogued in Ann Woodward and John Hunter, An Examination of Prehistoric Stone Bracers 
from Britain, Oxford (Oxbow Books), 2011. No bone or antler examples of these yet although there 
are examples of a later date.



I will contact Ann Woodward and see if she has come across any Neolithic antler rings,



Ian Riddler
