Collection of bone artifacts from Olo Khaz settlement

Abstract

The article focuses on the results of a trace evidence and technical-technological examination of the collection of bone artifacts of the Late Bronze Age Olo Khaz settlement of the Bashkir Trans-Urals. The authors dwell on all categories of bone artifacts found at the settlement; they draw on analogies from the materials of the Late Bronze Age sites in different territories. Probably, in the processing of bones at the Olo Khaz settlement, there is some industrial specialization on the processing of a hollow horn.
