[Bonetools] strange chalcolithic objects

[Grzegorz.Osipowicz at umk.pl]

Hi again

I’ve noticed clear rounding of the tips of the artefacts. Would it be
possible that it is the result of use? I’ve analyzed a similar
artefact (only longer, what is perhaps important here) from Corded
Ware Grave from Biržai (Lithuania – photo attached), that was used as
a kind of grinder/pounder. Similar artefacts are known also from other
graves of this culture (for example Krasnasieĺski, Bielarus – photo
attached). They ware also primary considered to be needles.

All the best

Grzegorz
