Bone scrap was rather plentiful in the Clarksville Component, but artifacts were comparatively few. Bone tools cover a fairly wide range in form and function. Since the Indians of the John H. Kerr Eeservoir Basin made only simple functional tools, very elaborate or decorative forms are not expected. All bone tools were manufactured by fracturing, cutting, shaving, abrading, and finally polishing. The very nature of the material determined the degree of modification and the functional form intended. Many of the artifacts -were very effec- tive tools made with very little effort.
