[Bonetools] strange chalcolithic objects

[Selena Vitezović]

Dear Alice,

This is very interesting.
Mine, however, are quite short - they are complete. Also, they are
completely polished - ornament, perhaps? Or something related to the
textile production?

Dear Fotis,
Since they are complete, they did not have a pointed end - so I doubt they
could have been fishing hooks. Do you have any photos of those from
Dispilio?


Thank you everyone!
best, Selena
