ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY - László BARTOSIEWICZ: A quantitative assesment of red deer antler as raw material

number of points in crown: b = 0.848 trez tine length: b = 0.557 antler weight: b = 1.170 upper beam circumference: b = 0.764 lower beam circumference: b = 0.673 burr circumference: b = 0.660 eye tine length: b = 0.810 Figure 1: Antler parts studied and the allometric coefficients characterizing their growth relative to lateral beam length Different relative growth rates mean, that when beam length is calculated by simply multiplying a measurement with one of the coefficients listed in the fourth column of 22!
