20 Bone and Antler Artefacts in Wetland Sites
Get accessJörg Schibler studied Prehistory and Biology at the University of Basel and in 1981 completed his PhD thesis about the archaeozoological, typological, and chronological contents of more than 8,000 Neolithic bone artefacts from the lake shore site of Twann, at the lake of Bienne. After working as an archaeologist in the archaeological services of Berne and Solothurn he returned to the University of Basel where he worked on Neolithic animal bone assemblages from several sites. At the university of Basel he built up a research group in archaeozoology and got a permanent teaching position in 1988. In 1995 he was awarded a Professorship in Archaeozoology and Prehistory. Beside Basel he has also been a Lecturer at the Universities of Berne, Heidelberg and Frankfurt.

Abstract
Animal bones and antler of cervidae are some of the most important raw materials for producing artefacts during the pre- and early metal (copper) ages. While during the Palaeolithic only few wetland sites with typical wet soil conservation are known, in the Neolithic, wetland sites are increasingly common, especially in Europe. One of the best-known regions of Neolithic and Bronze Age lake-dwellings is the Circum–Alpine foreland in central Europe. This chapter discusses the important interactions between available raw materials, technologies, and produced forms and types of artefacts, focusing on the Neolithic finds from the Swiss Circum–Alpine foreland, dating between 4300 and 2400 cal BC. It covers raw material and raw-material management, and types and forms of artefact.
