Bone Tool Scraping

Bone Tool Scraping is a methodological technique in archaeology involving the controlled removal of material from bone surfaces using lithic or osseous implements to shape, refine, or modify preforms into functional tools, distinguished from other bone modification practices by its specific application in tool manufacture rather than decoration or waste reduction.
