These forceps, called ostagra by the Greeks, were specifically used on bones. Paul of Aegina described one of their uses :"If the bone is strong it is first to be perforated with the drills called abaptista and the fractured bone is to be removed in fragments, with the fingers if possible, if not, with a tooth forceps or bone forceps. "Soranus of Ephesus, who lived in the reign of Trajan(A. D. 97-118) used bone forceps to remove pieces of the skull after impaction of the foetal cranium. Bone forceps may also have been used for extraction of arrow or lance heads from wounds; the grips on the tips of the forceps would make grasping such objects easier. 3, record 6, English, - bone%20forceps

Le terme «davier» est utilisé en chirurgie tant dentaire que générale. En chirurgie générale, il désigne un instrument en forme de pince, muni d'une mâchoire garnie de saillies ou de stries, et destiné soit à saisir un élément solide (os ou dent), soit à maintenir provisoirement la réduction d'une fracture. Certaines sources proposent comme équivalents anglais de davier les termes «bone forceps», «bone holding forceps» et «dental forceps». Cependant, le davier ne sert qu'à tenir (bone holding forceps) et non pas à tenir et à enlever (bone forceps) un élément solide. 4, record 6, French, - pince%20%C3%A0%20os

The Aztec word for a spear throwing stick device. 4, record 7, English, - atlatl
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 OBS
This projectile propulsion device preceded the bow and arrow. In general, a wooden or bone stick or board with a hand grip at one end and a spur or hook at the other end. The atlatl is used as an extension of the arm in throwing a spear or dart. The spear shaft is socketed and fits into the spur or hook of the Atlatl. Essentially the Atlatl lengthens the length of the spear thrower's arm and with loaded, spring-like, motion can provide the benefit of greater force and distance over that of the hand thrown spear. It is hypothesized that sometimes a stone weight(s)(a. k. a. : Bannerstone, Birdstone, Boatstone) was attached to the Atlatl to provide better balance or to load the device with a spring or bending effect or to diminish the "whoosh" noise created during the throwing process. 4, record 7, English, - atlatl

L'atlatl a servi pendant très longtemps à lancer les javelots des chasseurs ou des guerriers. Encore maintenant, ce propulseur mécanique reste utilisé par les chasseurs de l'Alaska et d'Australie. Les hommes installent une extrémité de leur lance dans la planche juste avant de l'envoyer, pour multiplier leur force et donc la vitesse de la lance dans l'air. Grâce à l'atlatl, les lances atteignent des vitesses de 100 km/h sur une distance de 200 mètres. 1, record 7, French, - atlatl
