ANTLER FINDS IN THE. FLINT MINE 91 antler only very rarely. As for antler beam the cord was put on the anterior or posterior wall and the cortex or about half or two-third or the spongiosa was cut off by repeated pulling the cord in the direction of the cutting operation, that is right and left (up ana down). Then the remained part was split off. In almost every case a cortex-stub had remained on the side opposite to the cut one (Fig. 10. 2). When it breaks the intact antler wall used to pull apart leaving a fracture with a "rickrack" trim. Those tines which got damaged already after they dad been buried or during the excavations used to break in two in a similar manner. F4.

During the cutting up process it happens that during the cutting up of the beem it cleaves diagonally (Fig. 10. 3; С 1.-61; C4.-91; D2.-43.) or their posterior wall may split off (Fig. 10. 5; C2. - Sc.f. 2, 154.).
