A Natufian Shaft-Straightener from Mugharet El Wad, Israel: An Example
of Wear-Pattern Analysis
Journal of Field Archaeology 6 (1979) 237--242
In 1928 a deer scapula bearing a large perforation was found at the
Natufian site of Mugharet el Wad, Mount Carmel, Israel. A close
examination of the use-wear appearing on this unique object, and
comparison with experimentally manufactured and utilized bone
implements, indicate that it was used in the smoothing and
straightening of wooded shafts.
