Sites with bone ornaments and evidence for bone working Fig. 8.6: Number of sites by site types, with bone ornaments and evidence for bone working <strong>The</strong>se suggestions of a possible self-sufficiency in the manufacture of such plain items may reflect not just the finished items, but also the simple tools required for their manufacture – a 142
knife or other blade – and the ubiquity of the raw material on most sites. This in turn may limit the potential to find evidence of their manufacture; carving a small piece of bone into a pin would be a mobile craft, not necessarily one restricted to a particular structure or area, and hence evidence might be dispersed and difficult to find and identify in excavations. This may explain the reliance on indirect evidence (bone ornaments and other finished bone items such as spindle whorls or combs) to suggest bone-working on the sites surveyed. If this does imply an unspecialised craft, it is interesting that some high-status sites, such as Lagore and Knowth, are included amongst the sites indicating bone-working (although the latter does have more direct evidence). Overall, direct evidence for bone-working is rarer, including unfinished bone pins at Moyne, as well as examples of worked and unworked, polished or cut bones (see Table 8.11). 143
