[Bonetools] WBRG website updates November 2024

Tue Nov 5 22:37:07 CET 2024

Dear WBRG members,

this month’s bonetool is an unusual pendant from a Late Bronze Age Urnfield culture site in Lower Austria. It is made of a fox mandible, and possibly may have been used as a tool as well since it shows use wear on a working edge:
