Abstract

The paper discusses bone and antler artefacts found during the excavations at Tartu Road 1 in Tallinn during 2011–2012. Most of the bone finds date to the 14th–16th centuries, the latest to the 18th–19th centuries. Both artefacts and working debris have been found, the most abundant material among the debris being waste from bead and button making. Antler artefacts and working debris were also found. Both the plot’s location and the house’s size and spatial division point to a public building. A guesthouse or tavern at a river next to a bridge could have been a suitable stopping place for itinerant craftsmen who manufactured their products on the spot. The few Modern Age items are common articles used in domestic households. The buttons and button making debris belong to the 18th century.
