Bone and Antler Tools

Bone and antler tools are tools made from the bones of animals or the antlers of deer and similar creatures. Ancient people shaped these materials into points, needles, and implements for cutting, scraping, or sewing. They were valuable because they could be crafted into durable, versatile items for everyday tasks like hunting, sewing clothing, or processing food. Unlike stone tools, bone and antler tools are lighter and sometimes easier to work with, making them essential parts of early human technology and daily life.
