Thanks, mr Greenfield. 

Alice, here are some additional photos of the antler. I think that the rose was on the broken part, I have also two other bases of shed antlers, with similarly cut tines, but without this large portion of beam, and with working surface on the antler base. 
Starčevo is also poor with antlers in general - with the exception of sites from Iron gates - but then I found almost 20 antler objects from Starčevo in Pančevo museum, all very carefully worked. 

best, s.

Dear Selena,
     The groove on the cattle first phalange appears made with twine but I have never seen anything like it on Koros sites in Hungary or anywhere else for that matter. It is a bit hard to judge the first object. am I right in thinking that one end is a the rose (without the pearling) of a shed antler and then the eye and beze tines with a hole cut perpendicularly thru the beam? What does the cross-section of this object look like. The Koros culture of Hungary is strikingly poor in antler objects of any kind.

Best,
Alice

Hello everyone, 

Now I have few questions. These objects are from Starčevo culture (Early/ middle Neolithic)  from Starčevo, eponymous site, in Belgrade vicinity (the phalanx and the antler tool) and from Donja Branjevina in northerns Serbia (pointed tool). 
Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? 

thanx very much, 

regards, Selena
