| Abstract | This paper examines the methodology and the fi rst results of experiments with hide working. Based on ethnographic, historical, and experimental data, the technical process used to work a hide is directly related to the origin of the hide and to the type of product desired. Moreover, differing processes or phases of processes may well involve different tools and gestures. Based on this information, an experimental program was designed which included fl eshing, softening, and perforating deer-and cowhide. The experimental tools used to process the hides were made from long bones and ribs, and they resemble in form edged tools and awls studied by the authors in various Neolithic sites in Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, and Syria. In the following presentation, emphasis is put on the systematic character of the experiments, the performance of the tools under examination, and the wear produced on the active ends of those tools. |
