[Bonetools] prehistoric fishing implements

[Selena Vitezović]

Dear Mihaela,

You may find intersting paper that Emanuela Cristiani, Vesna Dimitrijević
and myself have published on lure hooks from Vinča-Belo Brdo, eponymous
site of the Vinča culutre. It is roughly the same period and also is our
site is placed immediately on the river - it is on a bank of Danube and
small stream Bolečica enters into Danube in the immediate vicinity.
Emanuela also conducted some experimental work and residue analyses, so you
may contact her for further help.
The paper is available on academia.edu:

good luck with your research!
best, Selena
