A Record in Bone: Exploring Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Bone and Tooth Objects is a landmark 2023 archaeological text written by Associate Professor Michelle C. Langley. Published by Aboriginal Studies Press, it is the first comprehensive volume to synthesise over a century of fragmented research regarding Australia's 46,000-year-old osseous (bone and tooth) technologies. The book serves as an essential companion to Holdaway and Stern?s foundational 2004 text, A Record in Stone. Key Archaeological Themes Ancient Technology: Proves First Nations peoples engineered bone, tooth, quill, and claw materials for at least 46,000 years, representing some of the world's oldest organic technologies. Alternative to Stone: Challenges the long-held archaeological bias that stone was the primary medium for toolmaking in ancient Australia. Diverse Material Industries: Details complex manufacturing traditions including bone points, multi-pronged fishhooks, regional ornaments, and items stained with ochre. Cultural Innovation: Illustrates how individual Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities developed distinct regional methodologies based on local fauna and environmental conditions.
