Hundreds of perforated batons have been found across western and central Europe. Typically they are made from Antler, but this one from Hohle Fels is made of Mammoth Ivory.
What were they used for? Ritual or something practical? I spoke to Prof. Nicholas Conard of the University of Tubingen to discuss his idea that they were used to produce rope.
