Bone points are the most frequently found bone artifacts. Bone points were probably used as spear point ends or barbs for multi-pronged and single-headed spears. They may have also been used as nose bones as well as needles and awls in making net bags and skin cloaks.

Bone points have a range of shapes and sizes. Some are simple slivers cut to a point but many have either one or both ends ground to a sharp point. Typical bone points are between 20 and 70mm long and 5 to 8 mm in diameter.
