Antler Bone and Shell Artifacts

Antler, bone, shell , and ivory artifacts were once highly important for tools, weapons, and ornaments in North America. These materials were used in all prehistoric time-periods, and evidence suggests that uncounted millions of artifacts once existed. They were an integral part of ancient lives. Enough examples have survived to provide artifacts for collectors and archaeologists to study, and to offer a more complete picture of what life was like long ago.
