Broken bone point, sharp distal end remaining.

Large slab of bone, worked at one end into a rounded, bevelled edge, possibly used as a chisel. Much of the surface is smooth, with evidence of polishing marks.

Fragment of split bone. One end has an oblique edge with a bevel and the other end has been worked to a blunt point.

Fragment of split bone, edges are filed at an angle at one end and squared off in a chisel shape. Surface has polishing marks evident.

Fragment of broken and split bone, worked to a beveled, straight-edged tip at one end. Surface is smooth with polishing marks evident.

Broken gouge, distal end remaining. Manufactured from a piece of thick bone, there is a longitudinal groove at the distal end.

Broken flute, a large longitudinal fragment remaining, with smaller fragments glued on. The proximal end is complete, with most of the distal end broken and not present. There is a small fragment that is broken off that should sit along the upper middle. There are three perforations, two at the proximal end, with one remaining along the top. There are darkened striations in a variety of patterns along the surface, at the distal and proximal end the pattern is chevron, but is cross-hatched in the middle.

Complete flute. There are three perforations along the top, and one at the proximal end. There are some diagonal striations on the side towards the distal end.

Unfinished but unbroken flute. There is a single perforation at one end. There are striations wrapped around the flute in a chevron pattern. There is a longitudinal along one side.

Unfinished flute. There is a single perforation at one end. At the opposite end, there is a thin piece of wire wrapped around once, twisted, and then cut. There are multiple longitudinal cracks, and several repairs at the end with the wire.

Unfinished but unbroken flute. Both ends are cut, but one end is smoother than the other. There are no perforations.

Complete flute with two perforations. Proximal and distal ends are rough and not smooth. Fragments from surface missing on top near perforations. There is a latitudinal striation, and some random diagonal striations.

Complete flute, with small fragments missing from either end. The flute has two visible repairs where it was previously broken. There are four perforations, one on the side of the proximal end, and three along the top. There are darkened striations in chevron pattern.

Unfinished needle. Distal end is sharp. Thickness reduced at proximal end, with the faintest drill mark on one side.

Complete flute, though there is a large fragment missing from the proximal end. There are four perforations, one on the side at the proximal end, and three perforations along the top.

Unfinished flute. There is one partially bored perforation about 6cm from one end. There are two longitudinal cracks.

Mostly complete flute, repair visible where previously broken, but there is still a fragment missing from one end. There are two sets of perforations, four in each set. On the side, only two perforations go all the way through, with two shallower drill marks that do not. Along the top edge there are four complete perforations.

Broken flute, longitudinal fragment remaining. Finished at both ends. There are three perforations, two remained whole, and one partial. There are three diagonal striations at one end. There is dried adhesive along the broken long edges.

Complete flute, finished at both ends, though there is a small fragment missing from the distal end. There are three perforations. Two diagonal striations near the proximal end. There are a few cracks between the finger holes and around the broken end.
