<div>Another complicating factor into the consideration regarding manufacturing time is the freshness or dryness of the bone. I found that there was a huge difference in time that it takes to cut fresh bone and dry bone. When I was making
tools for usewear experiments I would cut all of the fresh bone into blanks right away and then store the blanks until needed because there wasn't as big a difference in grinding fresh and dry bone, but that after only a couple of weeks the bison bones I was
working with would become very hard to cut using chert and quartzite tools (not impossible, but it would take much longer and would dull the chert tools faster). This was in Colorado, not a very humid environment. I don't know how long it would take for
the bones to dry out in a more humid or colder context.<br>

Dear Naomi,<br>
<br>
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
<a href="https://www.wbrg.net/experiments/" target="_blank">https://www.wbrg.net/experiments/</a> (sroll down until November 2010). There is also a little movie about the experiment at
<a href="https://vimeo.com/67681232" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/67681232</a>.<br>
<br>
The WBRG reference database contains further useful references (<a href="https://www.wbrg.net/references" target="_blank">https://www.wbrg.net/references</a>). You can use the keyword search to search for appropriate references.<br>
