The abstract describing the content of the publication or report
Abstract:
Thirty-six papers (each with an abstract in French and German) presented at the 1999 meeting. Research was carried out on materials from a wide range of locations in Europe, America and Asia. Most papers include considerations of raw material exploitation, manufacturing and functional analyses, and all make some attempt to consider the social context from which the artefacts emerged.

Abstract
Skeletal technology in context: an optimistic overview
G M LeMoine
1 - 7
the paper looks at some recent research in skeletal technology and identifies broad questions addressed by in-depth analyses of bone tool assemblages. Issues of preservation bias, as well as technological choices, style, and the integration of bone tools into other technological systems, are among the areas being examined by researchers
Methodological specifics of the techno-economic analysis of worked bone and antler: mental refitting and methods of application
Aline Averbouh
111 - 121
the author applies the principal of `mental refitting' to the technological analysis of the bone tool industry, and to develop it within a framework adapted to particular aspects of that industry. Methodological developments in this proposed adaptation are presented
Bone and antler working on the Iron Age sites of Glastonbury and Meare in Britain
Tina Tuohy
157 - 164
paper focusing on long-handled combs made of antler and bone found at the Iron Age lake villages of Glastonbury and Meare, and considered by the excavators to be part of a textile industry. Study of their manufacture marks, wear patterns and distribution have suggested a different function and have given some indication of how their production and use varied between the sites. A domestic function is proposed for Glastonbury whereas it is suggested that those at Meare present a more complex picture of comb manufacture for trade and exchange and for their use in other crafts
Experimental determination of the function of antler and bone `bevel-ended tools' from prehistoric shell middens in western Scotland
Janet Griffitts
Clive Bonsall
207 - 220
report on experiments in the manufacture and use of bevel-ended antler and bone tools, artefacts which are characteristic of prehistoric shell middens in western Scotland dated between 8350 and 3000 BP (7350--1250 cal BC). The experiments were coupled with a comparison of the wear patterns on archaeological and experimental pieces, and indicate that bevel-ended tools were used primarily for processing and, possibly, collecting limpets, the dominant shellfish species represented in the middens
Viking and Late Norse combs in Scotland: an update
Colleen E Batey
267 - 269
provides an update on available evidence on combs for the Viking and Late Norse period in Scotland, encompassing new excavation material from Freswick Links in Caithness; Birsay in Orkney; Whithorn in southwest Scotland and Dunbar in southeast Scotland, as well as previously published pieces. Suggestions for sources of manufacture and mechanisms of exchange are presented, as well as consideration of claims for the identification of antler types in use in the period
The bone and antler industry in Anglo-Scandinavian York: the evidence from Coppergate
Arthur MacGregor
Ailsa J Mainman
343 - 354
article looking at the evidence for the contemporary character and organizational basis of the bone and antler industry revealed by the archaeological material recovered from the Anglo-Scandinavian site at 16--22 Coppergate, York. The site produced a rich variety of objects in bone and antler, covering a range of manufactures from commonplace to intricate items demanding a high level of skill, and which might indicate a professional or semi-professional level of craftsmanship
