520    A fundamental component of the study of worked osseous 
       objects is the identification of the raw materials chosen 
       to make them. In archaeological contexts many objects 
       become degraded to the point where identification is very 
       difficult and the way in which these materials decay 
       during burial and upon excavation can vary greatly. 
       Correct identification is crucial to the investigation of 
       objects, their conservation and future curation. Above all,
       understanding raw material selection aids our 
       understanding of human-animal interaction in the past both
       on pragmatic and symbolic levels since the choices made by
       artisans vary by cultural tradition as well as 
       availability.The 20 papers presented here explore a wealth
       of information pertaining to the use of osseous materials 
       over the long period of human craftsmanship and tool 
       manufacture by exploring several key themes:·     
       Raw material selection and curation within tool types&
       middot;     Social aspects of raw material selection&
       middot;     New methods of materials identificationIt is 
       demonstrated that the issue of raw material identification
       has numerous implications for conservation work, 
       reproduction of objects, the physical characteristics of 
       the tool or ornament, availability of raw materials, the 
       materials chosen for procurement and the cultural reasons 
       that lie behind the choice of raw materials from 
       particular species and skeletal elements to produce 
       planned tool and ornament types. Together, these papers 
       emphasize the need for confident and correct materials 
       identification and demonstrate that functionality is by no
       means the only, nor necessarily the most important, factor
       in the selection of osseous raw materials for the 
       fabrication of tools and other cultural objects. [Elib]
