Comment (James Harrod): These incised objects seem to me to be of mixed types, appearing to be categorizable as Type A, C and/or D possibly, while some incisions appear as possibly use-wear, when compared to use-wear on bones from Cueva Morin as illustrated in Freeman, L. G. 1978. Mousterian worked bone from Cueva Morin (Santander, Spain): A preliminary description. In Leslie G. Freeman (ed.), Views of the Past: Essays in old world prehistory and palaeoanthropology. The Hague: Mouton. Objects # 9 and #10 seem good candidates for Type A iterative stroke marks. More incised objects from l'Abri Suard, see previous image. Drawings © M. Crémades.
