Tools

Bone awls or perforators are found at most archaeological sites and were in use throughout all prehistoric periods. They were used for punching holes in skins or leather for sewing garments or other articles of clothing. Bone awls could be used for perforating most softer materials and many of them were probably also used in the manufacture of basketry, matting, or similar woven materials. As a consequence of usage, the awls became highly polished, not only from handling the awl but from contact with the working material.

A View From My Truck Window

My Dog Chester

This view from my truck window was beside the Fulton River, where I live in Granisle. It was taken in March, 2007. We got the most snow that we have gotten here in years. It had already melted a lot when this picture was taken. This is one of the photos that I have entered in the Fuel My Blog contest. The prize is a camera.
