Nine papers from a colloquium held at Liège in 2001 on recent research on the bone industry of pre- and protohistoric Europe. Contributors address a number of issues concerned with the procurement of raw materials and the production of objects, drawing examples from different sites. Subjects include: marked bones and antler points from Isturitz Cave; Palaeolithic sound instruments; the manufacture of bone tools in the early Mesolithic of Northern Europe; the seasonal manufacture of tools made from antler; the production of body ornaments in northern Spain; using animal bone at Abri Pataud. Papers in French with English abstracts.
