[Bonetools] early neolithic bone tools

[Selena Vitezovic]

Thank you very much indeed, both publications and comments are helpful.
About antlers - strange enough, the collection from Starčevo-Grad site in
the National Museum in Belgrade has just few antlers, while the collection
from National Museum in Pančevo has dozens of very beautiful pieces. I am
inclined to think that the variations in number of antlers are regional
differencies, not chronological ones.
thanx again, best,
Selena
