Abstract
At the Middle Palaeolithic site of Salzgitter-Lebenstedt (Germany) an assemblage of bone tools (N=28) made ofMammuthus primigeniusribs and fibulae was reanalysed. The tools are described comprehensively. Taphonomic analysis of the complete faunal assemblage, serving as a background for this study, showed that the raw material for bone tool production has most probably been intentionally selected by hominids. The bone tools are discussed within the archaeological context illustrating their unique occurrence in the Middle Palaeolithic record.
