Comments | EH Hazleton North: antler series Hazleton North- Antler; this antler was found in context 314, one of the dumps of rubble (soil, marl, and stone fragments) on which the cairn structure was built (adjacent to orthostat 408, a fine-Grained limestone slab in the southwest corner of the north chamber). The source of this rubble appears to have been the spoil from quarrying stone for the cairn's construction (Saville 1990, 243). Many other antlers were found in the quarry primary fills. It is assumed that this antler was used as a quarrying tool. The antler cannot be more recent than the construction of the cairn, and if it was used in quarrying it cannot be more than a few years older than the cairn. | |
