“…Similar Late‐Celtic, Roman, and Scandinavian examples from Britain, made of bone or antler, have ‘corkscrew‐handle’ shapes, but are tied through a central piercing, rather than through a longitudinal hole or around a narrow neck (Ward, 1911: 260, fig. 75.K‐L, 261; Dearne and Lord, 1998: 96, fig. 27.47–64, 98).…”

“…The Tantura B shipwreck also yielded three ‘spoon‐like wooden items [that] have holes pierced through their spatulate extremities’ (Wachsmann et al , 1997: 6). Excavations in Britain have turned up at least 71 ivory or antler ‘pierced spoons’, the largest concentration coming from the Settle, Giggleswick, and Wharfedale Caves (Dearne and Lord, 1998: 97). They are assigned a Romano‐Celtic provenance and dated to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.…”

“…Their thin, cylindrical shafts terminate at the other end with a knobby or carved head. Some examples are plain, but most have some decoration––which can be rather elaborate and stylized––on the bowl, shaft, or head (Dearne and Lord, 1998: 92–7, figs 25–6). Suggested identifications include clothes‐fasteners or brooches (Dawkins, 1874: 90), hair‐pins or ornaments (Curle, 1911: 338), tools for drawing out strands of wool through the piercing (King, 1970: 50), and ritual objects (Dearne and Lord, 1998: 97).…”

Toggles and Sails in the Ancient World: Rigging Elements Recovered from the Tantura B Shipwreck, Israel

Excavation of the 9th-century AD shipwreck B in Tantura Lagoon, Israel, yielded four toggles, numerous rope fragments, and three pierced wooden spatulate objects believed to be associated with the ship's rigging. In the first half of the article, the toggles are described and compared to a corpus of similar devices found on both land and shipwreck sites. The spatulate devices are tentatively identified as spill-toggles, pierced for attaching a trip-line. The second half of the article traces the textual and iconographical evidence for toggles and sail types--in particular, the lateen--in the ancient Mediterranean, and their possible association.

People and large carnivores as biostratinomic agents in Lateglacial cave assemblages

Biostratinomic analysis (processes acting between death and burial) of Lateglacial mammal bone assemblages from three caves in northern England demonstrates the value of re-examining archived assemblages. With AMS radiocarbon dating of key specimens, these assemblages shed light on the ecology of a region at the northern limit of Lateglacial human activity in Britain. During the Lateglacial Interstadial bears, wolves and humans expanded into the region, bears by around 12 500 14 C yr BP, and the earliest evidence for human presence is around 12 300 14 C yr BP. At Victoria Cave, wolf activity included predation and scavenging of large ungulates and scavenging bear carcasses apparently resulting from hibernation deaths. The scavenging of bear carcasses is possibly confined to the first part of the Lateglacial Interstadial, whereas evidence for wolf scavenging large ungulates increases later in the Interstadial, after about 11 800 14 C yr BP, perhaps reflecting changes in the productivity of the Lateglacial ecosystem, and in human subsistence patterns. The assemblage from Sewell's Cave is wolf den debris from the very end of the Lateglacial Interstadial around 10 800 14 C yr BP, whilst that from Kinsey Cave is dominated by large-bodied carnivores, and is argued to have a quite different taphonomic history.
