[Bonetools] question about manufacturing time

[Hans Christian Küchelmann]

Dear Naomi,

there is an experiment done by Amy Margaris and colleagues in Canada on manufacturing Alutiq antler projectile tips, which is referenced on the experiments page of the Worked Bone Research Group (WBRG) website at https://www.wbrg.net/experiments/ (sroll down until November 2010). There is also a little movie about the experiment at https://vimeo.com/67681232.

The WBRG reference database contains further useful references (https://www.wbrg.net/references). You can use the keyword search to search for appropriate references.

Some papers that come to my mind randomly are:

# Pétillon, Jean-Marc / Bignon, Olivier / Bodu, Pierre / Cattellain, Pierre / Debout, Grégory / Langlais, Mathieu / Laroulandie, Véronique / Plisson, Hugues / Valentin, Boris (2011): Hard core and cutting edge: experimental manufacture and use of Magdalenian composite projectile tips. – Journal of Archaeological Science 38, 1266-1283
