Spinning in Circles: the Production and Function of Upper Palaeolithic Rondelles

Spinning in Circles: the Production and Function of Upper Palaeolithic Rondelles

Rondelles are thin, circular disc cut-outs typically made from the blade of the scapula of medium sized ungulates, such as horse or cervid. These are primarily associated with the Late Upper Palaeolithic Magdalenian and focused around northwest Europe. Rondelles are frequently perforated, with 2 mm...
