The identification of intentional burnishing on prehistoric osseous artifacts remains a persistent methodological challenge. Bone surfaces are highly reactive and readily record microwear traces but are susceptible to taphonomic alteration. This study investigates how the use of different burnishing materials affects the morphology of bone surfaces and the formation of diagnostic microwear traces to develop a methodologically grounded classificat…
A Protocol to Identify the Wear Traces on Osseous Points Used for Fishing
The ability to distinguish osseous points used for hunting in aquatic and terrestrial environments is key to understanding the economies of hunter–gatherer societies (and beyond) and the typological diversity of such tools observed worldwide. In this article, we present an analytical protocol for wear analysis that enables the identification and correct interpretation of microwear traces generated on osseous points as a result of fishing. A start…
Ceremonial Tools or Just Hunting Weapons? A Multidisciplinary Approach to Mesolithic Inlaid Osseous Points from Lake Lubāns, Latvia
This study presents the results of interdisciplinary analyses of unique Mesolithic ornamented and inlaid osseous artefacts from Lake Lubāns, Latvia. The research integrates AMS radiocarbon dating, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS), and microcomputed tomography (microCT) to interpret the techniques used to manufacture and ornament the artefacts, the origin of the residues o…

How much did we lose? Investigating the impact of depositional environments on bone artifact preservation
What has the sea taken from us? Cognitive possibilities of studying artefacts from newly-discovered submerged prehistoric sites in Puck Bay (Gulf of Gdańsk, Baltic Sea)
The article presents the latest results of research in the area of the Bay of Puck. After the last glaciation, the Bay of Puck was gradually flooded by sea water. As a result, we can expect submerged Stone Age sites in this area. The article discusses the latest results of underwater research in this area and analyses in detail four new underwater sites from this region, including a loose find of a bâton percé from Hel dated to about 7000 BC, a c…

Mesolithic Ulna “daggers” from Dąbki Site 9 – on the track of their function
So-called “bone daggers” made from ulna bones of Cervidae are commonly found at Late Mesolithic hunter-gatherer sites of the western circum-Baltic area. The main objective of this paper is to showcase the results of the technological and functional analysis conducted on three tools found at the Dąbki 9 site in northern Poland. During the traceological analysis, technological traces facilitated the reconstruction of the chaîne opératoire of the to…
Osseous artefacts from the Church of St James in Toruń as a source of information on the production and use of everyday bone objects in Poland from the 14th to the 18th centuries
The article presents the results of typological and traceological analyses that involved seven objects made of osseous raw materials found around the church of Saint James in Toruń. Owing to technological analysis, it was possible to reconstruct the methods applied for working osseous materials by craftsmen of past times, whereas the analysis of use-wear traces allowed us to formulate conclusions regarding the function of the examined specimens. …
Identifying organic residue on ground stone tools from Mesolithic sandy sites
During excavations at the Mesolithic site Paliwodzizna 29 (central Poland), in addition to the flint artefacts typical for this period and region, a collection of 175 non-flint stone artefacts was discovered. This collection included various “macro-lithic tools” displaying visible intentional modifications and usage traces. This observation prompted a preliminary traceological analysis of a selection of tools. The primary goal of the presented re…
Towards understanding the influence of Neolithisation for communities using the Zvejnieki cemetery, Latvia
Późnopaleolityczna „motyka” typu Lyngby z Murowanej Gośliny w świetle wyników analiz technologicznych
Niż Polski, ze względu na swoje położenie oraz warunki środowiskowe ma istotne znaczenie w badaniach nad bytowaniem i rozwojem późnopaleolitycznych społeczności łowiecko-zbierackich. Pozostałości kultury materialnej tamtego okresu zachowały się do naszych czasów głównie w postaci różnego rodzaju przedmiotów krzemiennych. Do unikatowych znalezisk należą wytwory z kości czy poroża. W opracowaniu zaprezentowano wyniki analizy technologicznej przedmi…
Was it ground? A closer look at various prehistoric bone grinding techniques – An experimental and traceological study
This article presents the results of an experimental program, and traceological analyses of bone tools that were ground using various stone materials. Using multifaceted characterisation and classification of traces, we show that distinctive micro-wear patterns (e.g., striations, polish) are associated with different grinding techniques and corresponding stone materials. At the same time, we underline that it is not possible to distinguish betwee…
Rediscovery of the Palaeolithic antler hammer from Biśnik Cave, Poland
Accuracy of the typological classifications of the Late Glacial and Early Holocene osseous projectile points according to the new AMS dates of selected artifacts from Poland
Late Glacial and Early Holocene bone and antler artifacts are recovered from all over the Polish Lowland. Elements of projectile weaponry, in the form of various points made of osseous raw materials, were an important part of hunter-gatherer equipment of that time. We present the results of AMS dating of a unique collection of thirteen artifacts that had previously been chrono-culturally attributed by means of relative dating using typological ap…

Slotted bone point from Tłokowo – rewritten story of a unique artefact from Mesolithic Poland
The article describes the results of the interdisciplinary studies of a unique bone slotted point from Tłokowo, north-eastern Poland. The artefact was discovered in 1989, and indirect dating suggested an Early Mesolithic date. In this article we present the results of direct radiocarbon dating of the point, which shows that it is almost 2000 years younger than previously suggested. In addition, physical-chemical studies of the adhesive used to mo…
The Story of One Harpoon. Reutilization of an Osseous Projectile From Subneolithic at Šventoji (Lithuania)
Among the rich collection of osseous artefacts found in the Subneolithic and Neolithic levels from archaeological sites in Šventoji (Lithuania), a small fragment of a bone harpoon head is particularly interesting. The characteristics of the use-wear traces that were identified on the artefact suggest that the piece was reused as a kind of grinding tool. This observation became a starting point for a discussion concerning the presence of such prac…
An occasional ornament, part of clothes or just a gift for ancestors? The results of traceological studies of teeth pendants from the Subneolithic sites in Šventoji, Lithuania
This article presents the results of a zooarchaeological, technological and functional analysis of a collection of animal tooth pendants from the Subneolithic sites in Šventoji, Lithuania. The technological research carried out on the artefacts showed minimal interference in the material and the use of three basic techniques for drilling the holes. Traseological research of the use-wear traces legible on the pendants established a long period of …
The oldest osseous mining tools in Europe? New discoveries from the chocolate flint mine in Orońsko, site 2 (southern Poland)
Late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Treatment and Use of Non-flint Stone Raw Materials
The aim of the article is to present the results of a multifaceted analysis of a collection of non-flint stone artefacts obtained during excavations of the complex of Late Palaeolithic camps at site 17 in Nowogród, Golub-Dobrzyń district. It included an obsidian artefact and objects made of crystalline rocks (quartzite, quartzite sandstone, quartz, coarse sandstone and diorite), which were created as a result of knapping the raw material using te…
The same or different? Experimenting with the influence of peat environment on use-wear traces on antler tools
Postdeposition issues are one of the most important factors that must be considered during study of all archaeological osseous artefacts, especially if our analysis involves technological or use-wear traces. In order to better understand the possible changes on the worked, polished surfaces of antler tools resulting from the latter being deposited in peat environment, an experiment was conducted, in which experimentally made antler tools were dep…
