It may be easy to identify waste productions such as blanks or nearly finished objects that broke during manufacture, but distinguishing a flake or bone splinter resulting from food processing (you mention marrow and grease extraction) and a flake or bone splinter resulting from the first steps in the process of tool manufacture may not be that easy. So, would anyone know about any recent publication or research on that matter? Perhaps it's a bad idea to ask such a question on a Friday night... :-)<br></span></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span

<div>Really the bigger problem is distinguishing bone tool debitage from other anthropic fractures, such as marrow and bone grease processing.</div>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would anyone know about any recent (post year 2000) publication on the differentiation between natural and anthropic fractures in order to identify the waste elements in the production of bone tools (flakes, debris, etc.), in English or French, and if
possible from prehistoric contexts?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you in advance!</div>
