[Bonetools] Re : Late Neolithic (Lengyel culture) tool assemblage

[nejma goutas]

Hello,

Or maybe for hide working. Rhinoceros scapula have been used like spatula
during the Pavlovien (Moravia) : you may see the last publication of
Michaela Raskova Zelinkova (2010) : Reconstructing the “Chaîne Opératoire”
of Skin Processing in Pavlovian Bone Artifacts from Dolní Vestonice I, Czech
Republic, in Legrand A. et al., Ancient and Modern Bone Artefacts from
America to Russia. Cultural, technological and functional signature, WBRG.

Bye,

> Dear Colleagues,

> We have recently come across an interesting "tool-assemblage" from Late
> Neolithic (Lengyel culture) graves from Southern Hungary. It is a red deer
> antler stick (usually about 35-45 cm long) and an aurochs (or cattle)
> scapula-fragment. The stick is placed on the scapula as you may see on the
> attached picture. The edges of the articulation surface and the collum of
> scapula shows hand-polish, and the originally broken surface is also
> rounded and polished in some degree. These two artefacts are placed behind
> the back of the buried person (so far only men), together with other
> utensils from bone and stone. Nevertheless, our colleague who studies the
> household remains from the same site, founds more and more such kind of
> scapula-tools. This would suggest that it is a more frequent and ordinary
> type as we initially thought. However, we still think that the antler stick
> and scapula found in graves would form a tool assemblage together, and
> wondering if some of you have already met similar finds, know their role or
> significance, or any parallels. Thank you for your comments and suggestions
> in advance!

> With best wishes,
