Thank you Dr. Choyke,

Rosalia Christidou encouraged me to contact you. In fact, we have more than
100 objects of this type, some of it perforated, other decorated. Yeah it
is diaphysis of cattle bones and it was found inside an hypogeum. No other
animal bones or bone tools were found within the graves.
I am looking for similar cases in the Near East (references), more
information about the techniques used and the utilities of these artefacts.

I am grateful for your help,
Best regards,
