Actually though specific ones for pottery may not have been found... bone weaving combs used then would match the sort of designs and the sort of toolkit you are using pretty well
In some cases, I think that weaving combs may well have been used for pottery decoration, but for Bronze Age beakers, the teeth seen on the pots are much closer together than most weaving combs and more importantly generally only about 1mm long. This is evident as the combs are often pressed deep enough so that the teeth are seen as depressions in the bottom of a continuous groove.
@@wynwilliams911 Not corrected, you're right, weaving tools are sometimes used by potters for decorating, just not generally in the case of British Bronze Age Beakers.
I emailed you about this very subject and low and behold a video appears. Thank you so much!
Thank you. I need to make some tools now.
Really interesting. Thank you.
Very enjoyable! I will definitely keep my next chicken leg bone!!

@@PottedHistory I stand (sit) corrected, thank you :)

How, exactly, do you make the tools? I'd love to make some of my own.
