Dear Maja,


This is a huge subject with lots of literature on it.  May I recommend: 


Ambrosiani, K. 1981. Viking Age Combs, Comb Making and Comb Makers in the Light of Finds from Birka and Ribe. Stockholm Studies in Archaeology 2. Stockholm: Almqvist and Wiksell.



MacGregor, A. 1985. Bone, Antler, Ivory and Horn: The Technology of Skeletal Materials Since the Roman Period. London: Croom Helm.

Dear Bonetoolers, 

I hope I am writing on the right e-mail address.
I was wondering if someone colud help me regarding bone combs manufacturing, preferably in late antiquity and great migration period. Any info about the raw materials used or manufacturing itself would be helpful.

Thank you,

Maja Grgurić
