Abstract
The different types of ancient man-made bone modifications serve as evidence concerning human activities. Correct identification and interpretation of cut, scrape, chop, sawing, and blow marks is based on their morphology and recurrent position on the various bones. Important information concerning the processes by which the marks were inflicted leads to a greatly improved insight into modes of fundamental human activities such as hunting, killing, skinning, butchering, food preparation, and marrow fracturing.
