Tools made from aurochs bones
During the Maglemosian period people hunted large animals like aurochs for their meat, but other parts of an aurochs were also used. The skin could be used for clothing. Bones from the animal’s feet, lower forelegs, ribs and shoulder blades could also be utilised to make clubs, axes and fish spears.
![The Stone Age hunter-gatherers tried to cut out three bone plates from this shoulder blade from an aurochs. The shoulder blade was found at Brabrand near Århus. Tools made from aurochs bones](/typo3temp/assets/images/csm_Urokseskulderblad_01_3076d45c84_98d898585b.png)
