Re: [Bonetools] (Fwd) [ZOOARCH] Prehistoric antler cheek-pieces

[Heidi Luik]

Some Late Bronze Age cheek-pieces made of antler are known from Baltic countries:  
>From Estonia seven antler cheek-pieces are known: three complete and two fragmentary pieces from Asva (two of them are on the added photo), one from Iru (both are fortified settlements) and one fragment from the stone cist grave of Proosa. Some fragments of cheek-pieces of similar shape have been found also in Latvia, e.g. Brikuli and Mukukalns, and Lithuania, e.g. Petresiunai.
Best wishes,
Heidi
