It may be recalled that burin is a specialized implement form which was used for working and engraving bone, antler and ivory (Jayaswal, 1987, pp. 42 - 45). It may not be a mere coincidence that both burin industry and the bone/ivory craftsmanship flourished in Europe during upper Palaeolithic times.
