<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px;

find in a Chalcolithic (ca. 4000 BC) assemblage from
Azerbaijan : a tool made of a copper point inserted in a red
fox (Vulpes vulpes) radius. I am aware that one criteria for
the selection of the bone can be the diameter of the
diaphysis. But, considering that it is a pastoral population
(90% sheep and goat in the fauna) not much involved in
hunting, I imagine that they could have found an adequate bone
for the handle in the domestic fauna.</div>

any of you is aware of bone tools made from fox bones in the
Caucasus or an adjacent region (Eurasia, Eastern Europe, Near
East, etc ...).</div>

Here you have a file - sorry : a fine - example (fig. 3 p. 115) of
reciprocal adaptation in a canid tibia, rather round in the hand,
rather triangular in the proximal ("upper") region, as the file
itself. Eskimo, musée de l'Homme à Paris (et teh time of the paper,
at least...). A rmember more "dog" than "fox".<br>
