Choyke, A. M., ed. (2001). Crafting bone:. Oxford: Archaeopress.

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

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

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
