Usually the more durable artifacts made of stone, metal or bones are often the only ones that remain. Other types of artifacts made of wood or leather are seldom found due to their rapid deterioration by exposure to the elements.<br /><br />One of the things that sets us apart from other creatures is our ability to improvise tools with whatever resources are available.<br /><br />There also seems to be a spiritual quality that is present in the bones of a creature that was once a living entity.<br /><br />Thanks Brigid.<br /><br />RW<br /><br />BTW, Hope your recovery is continuing to go well.riverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-8291275739875080472012-02-04T15:00:09.508-06:002012-02-04T15:00:09.508-06:00I have a number of bones around, for scientific st...I have a number of bones around, for scientific study or simply to appreciate their form and function.

Many plains tribes didn't have the wood and stone resources...therefore bone was used.<br /><br />I still haven't decided as to whether to make a necklace or a tomahawk out of these deer mandibles. They are pretty well matched and will probably become a necklace.<br /><br />Thanks anon.<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-81001490362660171652012-02-04T08:10:38.918-06:002012-02-04T08:10:38.918-06:00I've read that some tribes also used bone for ...I've read that some tribes also used bone for the manufacture of projectile points (i.e. arrowheads).
