BONE AWLS These nine bone awls were found on the Auvernier site. Two of the larger examples may have been made from red deer rib bones. Bone awls are one of the more common tools types. It's difficult to say for sure if all of these examples functioned as awls for piercing holes in soft materials. The small example on the left may have been used as a gorge to catch fish. The longest example (4th from left) is highly polished and measures 5 7/8 inches long.
