[Bonetools] strange chalcolithic objects

[Selena Vitezović]

Dear Mikhail,

Yes, they do look alike, I thought that myself at first glance. They also
resemble some retouching tools Jörg Schibler published from Neolihic in
Switzerland - but the problem is that they lack the distinct usewear.
I'll try to make better photos.

best, Selena
