Bone artifacts anyone?

[GatorBoy]

I just thought it would be a nice change of pace to see some different bone artifacts since I don't recall a thread being posted for quite a while please add to it

Here's a couple of trays to get started. The first tray is all local and the second is from Butler county Ohio.

Very nice bone artifacts. New England's acidic soil means bone does not last long. Mostly found in shell heaps and shell refuse pits in sandy soil. Here's one end of a bone comb found in a Ma. shell heap. It has 2 different size teeth on either side, not unlike some combs today....

What an awesome artifact!
I wonder if that was used for hair or for marrying together the coils of a clay pot.

Thanks, GB. Never thought of other uses...

I've posted mine before, and there isn't anything new here, but here they are- one piece looks a lot like Gator's big bone 'handle'.



Good thread- thanks Gator! Yak

Great rare pieces there Charl.

That large piece does look a lot like mine it actually looks like a cross between two that I have
