Warren Peterson (1974) identifies three tool types: antler points, v-shaped points, and keel shaped bone peddles. His descriptions are extensive. There
were two antler points, one with a length of 2.7 cm, a diameter of .8 cm, and a length of 3 cm and a diameter of .9 cm. Throughout history, antler has
been used to produce tools like hammer batons, knife handles, pressure flakers, and conical arrows. Antler tools make axes and handles for harpoons.
Antler is a particularly flexible substance that may be used to create powerful weapons, which were acquired while hunting or collected from antlers
shed by animals, in the area of their activity.
