Bone tools

Bone tools from the Ravi Phase levels at Harappa ( c. 3300-2800 BCE) include projectile points (top three objects), a bone awl that may have been used for making basketry (middle) and polished rib fragments that may have been used in weaving. The perforated bone piece may have been used for separating strands of thread during spinning or weaving.
