Asset Overview

Recovered from a 19th-century site in the American West. This rib has two exciting features! First, it has cut ribs, which showed up quite well on the scan; second, one end has been broken, while the other end shows clear evidence of the use of a bone saw. This makes studying the two ends of the rib a fantastic way to compare cut bone vs. broken bone!
