Abstract:		 Analyses extensive collections from two IA wheelhouse complexes to ascertain species and anatomical parts used. Comparison is made with contemporary assemblages and a picture of the exploitation of animals on these sites is attempted. Primary tools, ornaments, working debris, and part-finished objects were identified. Some manufacturing processes are determined in detail, adaptation to local resources is apparent in the use of whalebone, and there was a clear appreciation of the functional value of different materials and bone types. Previously unrecognised objects were identified, including a whalebone vertebral disc, used as a trial piece for interlace decoration. There is an appendix providing evidence for colouring and inlay (228).
