Archaeological and ethnographic collections commonly associate bone tools with making clothing, baskets, mats, nets, and leather goods. Awls are generally robust bone implements tapering to a point, while weaving shuttles tend to be longer, smoother, and often have a hole or notch to manage the yarn or cord. Larger polished tools with eyes or notches are especially compatible with weaving or netting; finer eyed versions can serve as sewing needles.• Please study all photographs carefully for exact condition, size, material appearance, and contents
