<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Dear list members,<br>
<br>
I am currently analysing an animal bone assemblage from a (mainly)
<br>
early medieval site in Ireland. I have come across a number of sawn
<br>
and chopped off antler tines, which are slightly polished towards
the <br>
end.<br>
<br>
The polish might of course be due to natural causes. But I also
<br>
understand that antler tines were sometimes used as pressure
flakers <br>
during flint knapping in prehistoric times and this got me thinking
<br>
that these tines might have been used for this purpose, or
something <br>
else. I also realise that they might simply be waste of antler
<br>
handicraft.<br>
<br>
I attach photos of some of the finds. I would be greatful for any
suggestions!<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
<br>
