| Tools fashioned from animal bones. The one on the left is a bison scapula (shoulder bone) apparently used as a digging tool. The pointed bones and antlers were used for stone-tool making, basket weaving, and sewing. The deer mandible (jaw) at the bottom is polished from contact with plants - perhaps it was used to strip seeds from grasses. From the ANRA-NPS collections at TARL. |
