[Bonetools] question about manufacturing time

[Nerissa Russell]

On page 65, Pétrequin refers to simple bone points taking 5 minutes to make, elaborate ones 1-3 hours, which sounds about right.

Subject: [Bonetools] question about manufacturing time

Dear all,

Does anyone know of any research out there discussing how long it might take to manufacture bone or antler points?

Thanks!

Best,
Naomi
