[Bonetools] antler tine

[Maja Grgurić]

Selena, it's Sopot. I guess it's just a normal tine point, but the
tine itself is somewhat unusual..

Tino is great, Ivandvor was a huge site to excavate and he did a great
job. I remember when we came to visit, the site looked like a golf
field! I bet the aeral pictures look amazing.
