Antler tool’s biography shortens time frame of Lyngby-axes to the last stage of the Late Glacial

Résumé

The topic of this research paper is a discussion on the relevance of the sole use of absolute dating for the cultural attribution of bone artefacts. Lyngby-axes are an artefact-type indicative of a single culture of the Late-Glacial, though radiometric dates suggest that a wider time period can be represented. It is discussed whether the direct dating of the utilised animal-based material always accurately reflects the age of the technology used to implement the artefact as a relevant cultural item. The technological approach used here points to the gathering of fossil antler, targeted as a convenient raw material for this tool.
