[Bonetools] Location of Barbed Bone and Antler Points

[Alice Choyke]

I just remembered there is a single stray find of a antler harpoon from
southwest Hungary. I include the image here. Most the Hungarian Mesolithic
seems to be buried under meters of loess so their absence is probly related
to taphonomic issues rather than a genuine absence from the archaeological
record. Antler harpoons also become common in our late Neolithic.
