[Bonetools] Sawing techniques for Antler

[Jennifer Hull]

Dear Colleagues,


I am looking at sawing techniques used on antler from the late Neolithic to Early Metal Age in southern Vietnam.  I have found two references thus far that I have found useful:


1. Shibler, J. 2001.  Experimental Production of Neolithic Bone and Antler Tools  In: Choyke, A.M. & Bartosiewicz, L., eds. Crafting Bone: Skeletal Technologies through Time and Space, 1999 Budapest. BAR International Series, 49-60

2. Lothrop, S.K. 1955.  Jade and String Sawing in Northeastern Costa Rica.  American Antiquity, 21(1): 43-51.


I'm look for any other references that might help in analysing the sawing techniques used on my assemblage.  I've also attached some photos to give an example of the morphology I have observed.


Thank you and regards,

Jennifer
