The rib, because of its curved and elongated form, is most suited to a back and forth scraping or burnishing movement. The greater length permits force to be directed forward over a relatively large area, but does not permit much downward force when the tool is held further back from the working end. The overall polish found on these large rib and bone scrapers seems to indicate that these tools were indeed held in this manner. A short stocky tool which must perforce be held closer to the working end, permits a strong downward force to be exerted, but only over a smaller area, as with a leather finishing tool. The 21 short and fine pressure point smoothers include numbers 7232, 7231, 7230, 7228, 7226, 7225, 6872, 6871, 6870, 6864, 6184, 6183, 6182, 6181, 6180, 6178, 6177, and 6176 from splintered large animal long bones; number 7251 from a small rib; and number 6243 from the proximal end of a cattle scapulae, (pic. 6186). 6202 6197 6186 There is a category of some 44 perforators made from long bone material. This larger category further breaks down into four sub-groups. These sub-groups share the following attributes: 1. The tools are made from long bone splinters of from unmodified ulnae and fibulae both naturally thin pointed bones. 2. The chief morphological attribute is an elongated form culminating in a point which is rounded in cross-section, 3. The very fine needles are made from the more durable bird (Avis) long bone. Distinction between the sub-groups is made on the basis of striation direction. Working end lengths and the degree of manufacture modification vary considerably with types and seem to be dependent on the overall size of the bone used. This overall size affects tensile strength but, lacking archaeological context and sufficient numbers, it is not possible to infer more specific size dependent functions for these tools. A) There are 12 perforators which are utilized by being punched through the worked material. The striations run continuously and parallel to the length of the tool from the working point. The numbers are 6857, 6204, 6203, 6202, 6200, 6199, 6198, 6197, 6196, 6195, 6194, and 6192. These tools show use-modification only. (Pic. 6202, 6197) B) There are 12 perforators which were twisted through the material to be worked. The striations are perpendicular to the working point but are not continuous. The numbers in this sub-group are 7259, 7258, 7257, 7256, 7239, 6874, 6865, 6864, 6862, 6223, and 6191. (Pic. 6188, 6191) 6188 18
