of us have felt frustrated by the lack of coordination between faunal analysts and specialists in worked bone as concerns identification of waste bone from manufacturing - among other problems. We are expecting papers from people who have found solutions to
this common problems as well as hearing from specialists who are still wrestling with the problem.</span></font></div>

This methodological, hybrid session aims at improving cooperation between bone tool specialists and general faunal analysts. The goal is to create an open-source, downloadable, digital identification<b>
</b>book, available to all academic, archaeology-related institutions. Ideally, access to this reference book should help faunal analysts to recognize less obvious, bone fragments that are likely associated with manufacturing activities as well as very fragmented
pieces of worked bone. Since what constitutes worked bone and manufacturing will differ significantly depending on geographical location, time-period and degree of serial, industrial production the reference book will need to be continually revised. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; line-height:115%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
In the best of all possible worlds, these two groups of specialists work together in an organic fashion. However, Although there are places where faunal analysts and specialists in worked hard osseous materials work together organically as a team, the stark
reality is that financial and time constraints often, make such direct cooperation difficult. Debris from manufacturing can be very difficult to recognize. Furthermore, the presence of very fragmented or unusually used objects can also be signaled by the presence
of macroscopically visible areas of polish from heavy use or even ritual handling of bone which was essentially unworked (or only minimally worked). Such objects must be properly identified during microscopic analysis, but their surfaces often have visible
polish or minor (but sometimes very specific) modifications, visible at low magnifications, which can <br>
provide grounds for their preliminary classification. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; line-height:115%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
The session would revolve around developing general protocols to define what both groups of specialists would be interested in adding to their research repertoire and different possibilities of transmitting basic know-how between these two tightly related fields.
Papers should be kept short and be closely concerned with what waste bone from manufacturing sequences looks like in their research area</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; line-height:115%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
Possible points to cover:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; line-height:115%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
1. Recognition/identification of waste and worked hard osseous material.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; line-height:115%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
a. What type of tool marks are associated with bone tool reduction and where are they typically located?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; line-height:115%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
b. How can these marks be distinguished from butchery marks and taphonomic damage (or can they be)?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; line-height:115%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
c. What is the best way to disseminate this information?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; line-height:115%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
d. What kind of information about worked hard osseous materials would be of most practical use to faunal analysts?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; line-height:115%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
2. When there is no bone tool specialist - what minimal but basic information do zooarchaeologists need to take into account about the worked hard osseous materials they find in the faunal sample?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; line-height:115%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
3. How should worked bone specialists organize their workflow in the absence of a zooarchaeologist?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; line-height:115%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
4. Structural, storage problems with separation of small finds assemblages and objects found in the faunal assemblage.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; line-height:115%; font-size:12pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
5. How can the study of worked hard osseous material be included in zooarchaeology courses?</p>
