Abstract
⺠Describes a new type of Aurignacian bone tools: unworked intermediate tools. ⺠These tools are food processing by-products used directly as wedges for woodworking. ⺠Expedient bone tools are very numerous in the Aurignacian osseous industry. ⺠This suggests a gradual technological shift between the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic. ⺠Osseous technology could be part of a transfer of techniques from wood working.
