ax made from distal end of right radius of Bison priscus (steppewisent). Cool and well preserved. An old damage to the angle of the joint button and an old crack. Black, with slightly lighter spots. At about cm from the gewr. end a virtually circular perforation The bone is further ground into one fine, very well symmetrical pointed ax, with the tip formed in the hard leg of the front of the bone. Along the edge of the oval opening, which forms the cavity of the bone at the cut, the traces of bores are in part still very intact
