Artifacts of Antler (See Plate 13)
There was one small antler tool 1¾″ long, ⅝″ wide, and ⅜″ thick,
which was found in Bc 51. The point is rather blunt. Two sides have
been worked down from parallel faces but the butt end is unfinished.
It was located in the fill outside rooms 1-5. This implement seems to
fit into Kidder's classification of tines with two sides of the top worked
and it appears to be almost identical with Fig. 232 h,[376]
which Kidder
remarks "may be a wedge." It is also similar to some small antler
tools found in Jemez Cave.[377]
This is the only object of antler found in Bc 51 and there were
none in Bc 50. One was found at Łeyit Kin.[378]
There were relatively few
(13) antler implements found at Jemez Cave, but many at Pecos (751).
