Boring and piercing tools made from different animal bones are frequent finds. Some will have been for piercing leather while finer points were probably for working with textiles or very thin skins. Some pieces were carefully shaped before use - even, on occasion, by sawing a bone in half lengthways to prepare the 'blank' for further shaping. 

Fine double ended points like the one on the right are rarer but clearly made for a special purpose, probably connected with textiles, possibly for 'picking' groups of warp threads on a loom to create patterned textiles.

Ornamental items of bone are rare. This piece, a toggle or button, has a narrow groove round the centre for attachment and is decorated with incised circles. 

Antler was regularly used as a raw material: Finds ranged from complete  fallow deer antlers or whole tines (top), to segments (bottom) carefully sawn into shape as blanks for making handles or other items.

Handles (? for metal awls or chisels) were carefully made from antler, or, more rarely, bone. Some like the faceted example illustrated (left, below) are decoratively shaped while the upper example has a grooved end for attachment. This could perhaps alternatively be part of a cheek piece from a horse-bridle of the type which was starting to come into use at the end of the 2nd millennium BC.
