[Bonetools] human tooth inrformation

[Heidi Luik]

Dear Fotis,

Zvejnieki in Latvia is the largest and most famous Stone Age (both 
Mesolithic and Neolithic) burial place in the Eastern Baltic region 
and both two pendants there are from graves.
About Loona settlement site (Saaremaa island, Estonia) it has been 
assumed that people lived there not only in the Late Neolithic but 
also in the Early Bronze Age, and a Late Bronze Age stone grave is 
also located upon the settlement site. The human tooth pendant, 
according to its find context, belongs to the finds from Neolithic 
settlement site.

Best wishes,
Heidi
