[Bonetools] Looking for bibliography about the use of natural adhesives in Prehistory

In Neolithic lake shore settlement in Central Europe (Switzerland, Austria, Germany) a lot of examples for using birch tar as glue to fix flint, bone, antler and wooden artifacts are known. I have recently published an overview about Neolithic bone and antler tools from lake dwellings that includes a few examples of birch tar on artifacts (Schibler, Jörg (2013). Bone and antler artefacts in wetland sites. In: F. Menotti & A. O'Sullivan (Eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Wetland Archaeology, Oxford, 329-345.
