How Did They Drill That? – A Few Observations on the Possible Methods for Making Large-sized Holes in Antler

From the Neolithic period comes a whole range of various kinds of artefacts made of antler (for example axes, hammer-adzes), distinguished by the presence of a large hole (diameter over 2 cm) in their structure. With time, archaeologists started to wonder about possible ways of producing holes of th...
