Die Podcastserie begibt sich in 99 Gesprächen auf eine Reise durch die deutsche Geschichte – spannend, tiefgründig und überraschend.
Jetzt reinhören!

The bone, antler and ivory artefacts from the #Magdalenian sites of Gönnersdorf and Andernach-Martinsberg (Germany) are being re-examined by use wear analysis.

This provides new insights into manufacturing techniques, usage, repairs and reuse.

Research into finds made from organic materials has long been somewhat overshadowed by #stonetools , although they provide valuable information about the #behaviour and everyday life of people in the #Palaeolithic.
