{"product_id":"worked-bone-antler-ivory-and-adam-dibattista-9781009181679","title":"Worked Bone, Antler, Ivory, and Keratinous Materials","description":"This Element addresses the study and documentation of objects made from the durable materials of animal bodies, including bone, antler, ivory, and keratinous tissues. This category of artifacts is common across cultures and regions, yet often escapes close study. The Element aims to be a guide to understanding and documenting worked animal objects for those without a background in zooarchaeology or experience with such artifacts. This Element provides a means of identifying and distinguishing animal materials by emphasizing the value of caution and making full documentation of all observations. Using illustrations and descriptions to help researchers understand the structure of these materials, the volume introduces the terminology and diagnostic factors that differentiate animal materials. It also outlines the techniques craftspeople used to modify animal materials in the past. Finally, this Element presents recording strategies for individuals wishing to study assemblages from archaeological excavations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam DiBattista\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 100918167X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009181679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Adam DiBattista","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46546152292607,"sku":"9781009181679","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ca23112-860b-4620-baae-98789aefc83f.jpg?v=1738184253","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/worked-bone-antler-ivory-and-adam-dibattista-9781009181679","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
