[Bonetools] Neolithic tool

[SIDERA Isabelle]

This is a typical neolithic implement, which is difficult to  
identify. As it is made, on a flake of bone I should see it more in  
the Early Neolithic Linearband Pottery Culture or Chalolithic than  
other periods.  Not a tip, not a cutting edge, not a smooth top, use  
wear traces should say more but generally badly preserved, this kind  
of artifact stay a mystery. I can send examples to the colleague,  
especially from LBK. Isabelle Sidéra
