  Subject: [ZOOARCH] Distinguishing antler from bone


  Dear Zooarch:

   

  Does anyone know of a good method, or can point out appropriate literature, to distinguish antler from bone in worked artifacts? I'm working with an archaeologist to identify materials used in artifacts from the 19th Century North American arctic. Some are obviously bone and obviously antler, but some are harder to distinguish. Any information would be helpful; ie. does compact bone in antler contain Haversian canals? Thanks!

  Sincerely,

     Dave
