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

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