Hide

The project is not only interested in how Mesolithic personal ornamets were made, but also how they were used. One possiblity is the attachment of beads to clothing. The same tools that were used to drill materials to create perforations migth be used to make holes in leather or hide to attach them. The photographs document the perforating of leather in advance of attaching beads. This wear generated on the tools used allowed for further expansion of the microwear reference collection for the project.
