Ever wondered what kind of artifacts could be made from animal bones? Dr. James Theler discusses how bones, antlers, and turtle shells were used by Native Americans to make many different tools such as awls, projectile points, bowls, ornaments, and musical instruments. Â Check the timestamps in the YouTube description to see the different kinds of tools.
Also see Jim's video on how Native Americans made hoes from the shoulder blades of bison at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFYtyH9H3-c
Some of these bone tools can be seen as 3D images produced by another UW-La Crosse Archaeology professor, David Anderson at: https://sketchfab.com/danderson4/collections/mvac (MVAC collection) and https://sketchfab.com/danderson4/collections/bone-artifacts (Bone Artifacts collection)
