[Bonetools] Three questions

[isabelle.sidera at mae.u-paris10.fr]

Hi Christian,

A response to the third question, 1/3 of the price:
Mark Newcommer published in 1972 ou 74 a note concerning an aurignacian
settlement in the Levant, where he indicate that the bone points are
hardened with fire, showing coulour on the tips.
You can easily interrogate google scholar for finding the paper, if you
don't, I will give you the exact reference.
Best, Isabelle

> et de Chalain (Jura), III, Chalain station 3, 3200-2900 av. J.C.
> (published by the Maison des sciences de l'Homme, in Paris)?
> Third: does anyone know about some recent publications dealing with the
> use of heat (fire) as a technique of hardening (and darkening) bone
> materials/bone tools, especially in opposition to the total carbonisation
> of bones which will have the opposing effect (i.e. weakening the bone

> recent publications on this precise subject?

> Any help regarding anyone of these queries would be greatly appreciated!

> Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays to all!
