So my post may be a little more archaeology-themed in the next few weeks because I'm currently preparing for my first big research trip to #avataqculturalinstitute in March to look at the archaeological material for my first PhD case study! 😅🎉🇨🇦🔬 Part of this prep involves a bit of #experimentalarchaeology to create some bone needles - here's my first attempt #bone #boneneedle #archaeology #archaeologist #phd #phdlife #sealbone #canada https://www.instagram.com/p/BtisT09FfUN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fn2f3plz7vlv

Needles made of horse bone. 🐎 Next step: a needlecase! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #needle #boneneedle #horsebones #garrano #mothernaturesgifts #bonecarving #historicalreenactment #handmade #handcarved #bushcraft (at Porto, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoM8ldWA0YH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o9sgid5fmeb4

Delicate bird bone needles stored in carved ivory were a woman's sewing tools in the arctic. They are as important for survival as food and water. Should a hole appear in a foot, or a mitten become lost, travelers could die from frost bite in a matter of hours. #birdbone #ivory #inuitart #canadianarts #canadianculture #inuithistory #indigenous #indigenoushistory #inuitart #indigenousart #tools #inuittools #indigenoustool #bone #bonetools #native #nativehistory #nativeart #torontomuseum #canadianmuseum #canadianhistory #sewing #sewingtools #sewingskills #sewingneedle #sewinghistory #boneneedle #sewingart #arcticsurvival #inuitclothing #nativeclothing #indigenousclothing #ivorydesign #ivoryart (at Bata Shoe Museum)
