[Bonetools] bifurcation

[Günther Karl Kunst]

Dear Isabelle and Alice,
thank you for suggestions, information and affirmations, I will forward 
them to Manfred Schmitzberger and hopefully it will make also the 
Styrian colleagues happy as something potentially antrhopomorphic is 
always top-ranking among the archaeologists. I personally don't have a 
clear idea about the materal origin either although I thought of bone 
rather than antler from the photograph. As I suspect, the specimen is 
not the only one from the site.
have a nice week
Karl
