Dear ZOOARCHers,
I am wondering if anyone knows of archaeological (or ethnographic)
examples of knapped animal teeth being used as tools. I have come
across a couple of examples of 'flakes' of large animal molars (e.g.
rhino) being used, but I am looking for possible examples from
naturally sharp teeth, like those of carnivores.
Cheers,
Angela
