[Bonetools] neolithic archer's rings

[Alice Choyke]

For that matter there are also such stone Bell-Beaker 'bracers'. Again, the
functional ascription has always bothered me a tiny bit since although it
seems reasonable in the Hungarian material given the form of these objects
and their location in inhumation graves. Still, form does not always
necessarily equal function.
