The intricate designs and meticulous craftsmanship displayed on these bone objects are a testament to the creativity and artistic abilities of the Maglemosian people. The use of bone as a primary material for tool-making and artistic expression demonstrates their adaptability and ingenuity, as they made the most of the resources available to them in their environment. 6.
