So was out gathering arrow shaft material when my buddy found a doe skeleton almost complete in the leaves. I gathered it up seeing arrow heads and knife handle material to be made use of. However, whats the jaw, skull, ribs, pelvis, and backbone good for?

Many paleo and NA tools and art work can be made. War club with jaw, notching tools , pressure flakers, knifes and handels . Bone beads. Well a lot. A word of caustion, breating bone dust should be avoided. All marrow needs to be cleaned out. Boiling in water with dawn soap or washing soad will clean them up. Oh shoulder bones make good scappers and saws

I have never heard of a war club being made with a deer jaw. I have only heard of them made from bison jawbone. You can also make a trident type fish spear from the triangular bone in pelvic area. Ill try and look up name of the bone
