Letter from Donald Crabtree to James Barr Item Info

Typewritten letter from Donald Crabtree to inform him on his assumptions about the use of bone and antler tools at the archaeological site. He said that they could have been used as a percussion instrument and given the shattered state they were found in, they likely were. He did say that cores should not get battering marks from tool manufacture, so it would be more likely that they came from functional use. He then suggested that Barr reach out to Hans Muller-Beck and George F. Wili in the area that could help him.
