Baby bows and black puddings
Alf Webb
44 - 45
Considers the interpretation of small-sized bows, especially an antler bow recently discovered in a Middle Bronze Age context at Isleham, Cambridgeshire. Their use for making fire is considered most plausible, but it is also suggested that they may have been used for blood-letting cattle in a manner practised by the Masai people of Kenya.
The use of soft hammers in the manipulation of flint
Karl Lee
46 - 48
Experimental observations suggest that bone, specifically the cartilaginous ball-joints of cattle long bones, could be used for working flint as an alternative to antler.
