Greetings,
Pardon the cross posting.
I am conducting research on the use of bone in manufacturing during the mid to
late ninetieth century. The assemblage I am working with has buttons, combs,
and game pieces made out of a large mammal's long bone. Along with these
artifacts, scraps and seconds were also identified. What I'm looking into is
how they were manufactured (techniques and tools), and what animal(s)/body
parts were used. The assemblage comes from features associated with a prison
workshop, a comparison with other assemblages should make for an interesting
report on the archaeology of work.
If anyone knows of any research pertaining to this topic I would appreciate
the reference.
Cheers,
Brent M Handley
