Bone artefacts from two Pleistocene sites in southern Tasmania were examined microscopically for traces of use and/or manufacture, and a range of functions was ascribed. Through the careful examination of the bone assemblages from both sites several new categories of ‘non‐formal’ tools were recognised, with four 'types' described according to morphological characteristics. It was found that the ascribed functions were in general agreement with these types
