Exp. 10 Perforated

3D Model

A modern (2024) male Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) left maxillary canine from Southern Germany. Perforated bifacially with a hafted flake (hand drill) of Jura hornstein with a second individual holding the canine in place over 7.01 minutes. This is 1 of 30 teeth comprising an experimental reference collection for evaluating archaeological usewear stemming from the production and suspension of European Upper Paleolithic personal ornaments. This model was produced with an Artec Micro automated desktop 3D scanner at the University of Tubingen’s Material Culture Laboratory.
