Hi Selena,
 
I forgot to mention that this spoon comes from Belgium.
 
Best wishes, Marloes

Dear Marloes, 

These are quite common for the Turkish and South-east Europe Neoltithic, especially Early/Middle, although in Bulgaria you may find them throughout Chalcolithic as well (on central Balkans they are different from Later Neolithic onwards). They vary very much in dimensions and in ratio handle:spoon part; as they are in most cases from Bos metapodials, they can be quite large, as Christian says (there is an enourmous one on permanent exhibition in Istanbul's Archaeological museum), but some of them can even be quite small (I found recently on an Early Neolithic site in Bulgaria one really, really tiny example). 
Here are some references attached for SE Europe (the ones I have in pdf, but there are many more), but you may also try to find paper by John Nandris in Bulletin of the Institute of Archaeology, London, vol. 10/1972: Bos primigenius and the bone spoon, and Corneliu Beldiman's PhD thesis for examples from Criş culture. Mellaart published few nice pieces from Çatal Hüyük and Hacılar in Anatolian studies (vols. 11/1961, 14/1964). 
Also, if you have Fiches typologiques, volume VI, check it out. 
I also had a poster on spoons from Starčevo in Salzburg, if you remember it. 
If you need any more references, let me know, I have most of the things here cited in paper. 

I would also like to know where does your piece come from? 

best regards, Selena

And there are too bones spoons in the Spanish Neolithic. Specially in Cova de L' Or and Cova de les Cendres. The first are in the Museo de Prehistoria de Valencia and the second at MARQ (Alicante).

Dear Marloes,
there are many of these spoons in neolithic Turkish sites. We had about two dozens of them in the last years campaign at Cukurici Höyük and I have seen also recently excavated examples from Barcin Höyük. However, I do not know any published examples at present although I am sure there must be some. The complete spoons were rather long, more than 20 cm sometimes. Where is that find from?
Best
Christian
