Description
This
small
,
left
mandible
(lower
jaw
bone)
fragment
is
from a
dog
and
includes
three
molars
. The
socket
for the
canine
tooth
is
present
, but the
tooth
is
missing
. The
jaw
bone
was
cut
behind
the
molars
and at the
lingual
side
,
next
to the
canine
, to
make
the
jaw
straight
. There
is
a
hole
drilled
below
the
third
molar
and the
item
is
covered
with
red
ocher
, a
powdered
iron
ore
. This
artifact
is
likely
paired
with
another
item
(A
284/000004.002)
. This
piece
is
believed
to have
come
from
Glacial
Kame
Culture
. The
Glacial
Kame
people
are
noted
for their
emphasis
on
ceremony
, but their
daily
lives
were
much
like
those of
other
Archaic
cultures
. They
hunted
with
spears
aided
by
spear
throwers
.
Deer
, their
major
source
of
meat
, also
provided
antler
tines
that were
made
into
tools
for
pressure
flaking
flint
knives
and
spear
points
, or into
harpoons
for
fishing
.
Deer
leg
bones
were
cut
and
ground
into
sharp-pointed
awls
for
sewing
and
basket
making
.
Slate
and
coal
from
glacial
deposits
were
made
into
ornaments
,
perhaps
for "
everyday
"
use
.
