Artefacts made from skeletal materials since the Roman period were,
before this book, neglected as a serious area of study. This is a
comprehensive account which reviews over fifty categories of
artefact. The book starts with a consideration of the formation,
morphology and mechanical properties of the materials and
illuminates characteristics concerning working with them. Following
chapters discuss the organisation of the industry and trade in such
items, including the changing status of the industry over time.
Archaeological evidence is combined with that from historical and
ethnological sources, with many illustrations providing key visual
reference. Originally published in 1985.
