Dear Eva,


Thank you for the response.  I did find it quite curious that some cross sections had regular 'waves' whilst others had much finer striations.  Clearly a few methods were being used.  Thank you for the references, I will look into Poplin, and wait for the in progress paper to be released.


Regards,

Jennifer

Dear Jennifer,
To my knowledge, the princeps (first) indentification of the string sawing technique was made by F. Poplin:

Poplin, F. (1974). Deux cas de d?bitage par usure. In: 1er colloque international sur l?industrie de l?os dans la pr?histoire, Abbaye de S?nanque (Vaucluse), H. Camps-Fabrer (ed). ?ditions de l?Universit? de Provence: 85-92.

In 2015, Tooma? Boucherat shows for our project how to saw antler's segments with a large string made of fibers.
The publication is in process, but here find enclosed a picture of the antler in cross section (one of my picture, in attached file):
The technique makes quite a straight edge with large centripetal waves into the matter that
resembles pretty much to the ones displayed on your material + supplementary adjacent accidental groove on a side,
as emphasized by Poplin. In your case, a stronger material for the string would perhaps
explain the waves are quite regular there and strongly "printed" on the antler tissues.

Best, ?va

Objet : [Bonetools] Sawing techniques for Antler


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
