Abstract:
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
