Bone tools are common finds on prehistic sites, and today we explore a style that have been interpreted as tools for working flax, bark and other textiles.
The original tools being explored are from pile-dwelling sites in the circum-Alpine region and are from a time when flax is starting to become an important textile crop but many other fibres are still in use.
This video is part two of a series made during my MSc dissertation in Experimental Archaeology.
I now have a 'buy me a coffee' page which helps fund my ongoing research and the making of these free videos. If you'd like to support me, please visit ko-fi.com/sallypointer Thank you!
