[Bonetools] antler tine

[Selena Vitezovic]

Dear Maja,

We have in Neolithic such used antler tines, usually with resharpened point
(by scraping or whittling), and they may have been used as points
(probojci), punches (udarači) or even retoucheurs - depending on the working
tip - is it pointed or blunted, and on use traces. You may find analogies in
my magister thesis and in Selevac publication (Nerissa Russell refers to
them as "blunted antler points"). Do you have Selevac publication? If not, I
will scan it.

best regards, selena
