	abstract = {<p>This report describes a project to reproduce four Dorset Culture osseous (bone and antler) tools common at the Phillip\&rsquo;s Garden site (EeBi-1), northwestern Newfoundland. Replicas of Dorset lithic tools were used to manufacture a needle, a barbed point, a harpoon head and a foreshaft-like tool. The characteristic traces generated on the osseous tools in the manufacture process were documented and compared, under low-power magnification, to archaeological examples of the same tools. There were some differences, but many similarities were noted in the comparisons. The project outcomes suggest the tentative identification of possible manufacture traces on archaeological material associated with the use of particular lithic tools, and include an evaluation of the capacities of some Dorset lithics in tool making. These results present tangible traces of Dorset tool making that suggest some conventional practices at Phillip\&rsquo;s Garden, and demonstrate potential for expanding this enquiry to understand change and endurance in practices throughout the broader Dorset region.</p>},
