- Antler debitage in muge shell middens: the collections of the geological museumPublication . Évora, Marina; Bicho, Nuno F. 7619-7089-221C; Detry, Cleia; Price, T. Douglas; Cunha, Eugénia E717-5464-E13BAs one of the most important Mesolithic sites in Europe the Muge shell middens have been known for 150 years. Much information has been published about the hundreds of human burials, but not much about the lithic and faunal assemblages. Although the osseous materials present in the Muge shell middens are a very important part of the material culture, their technological analysis is yet to be done. We present here the results of the technological analysis of a sample of antler artefacts that were recovered from Moita do Sebastião and Cabeço da Arruda shell middens in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and deposited in the Geological Museum in Lisbon. We have registered two fracturing techniques and three wear techniques employed in the manufacture of this osseous industry and four categories of tools made by the Mesolithic hunter-gatherers.
