Dear Dave,
      Circle and dot decoration is used  continuously in the Carpathian 
Basin from the Neolithic up to the Middle Ages  which here officially begins in 
the 10th century. Otherwise, it is more like  seeing spots everywhere - 
especially on antler combs, and antler containers. I  can look around for 
images and send you part of a dissertaion (sadly for you  in Hungarian but (as I 
recall with some images) which discusses Avar bone  tools in Transdanubia. 
 
Best,
Alice
 
PS One of our conservators has worked out how to produce circle and dot  
and variens of the motif. There is an english translation. The catalogue of  
the Aquincum bone tools (1st-5th c. with lots of input from Germanic tribes 
by  that time and the Sarmations/Quads on the Eastern side of the  Danube ) 
will come out in September. with some examples of circle  and dot 
decorations, mostly on antler.
