[Bonetools] Antler Axe head

[Renáta Přichystalová]

Dear Fiona,

I send you two examples from older period, namely from latén period. In 
Czech republic were found bone/antler artefacts iterpreted as the ax or 
hammer in the settlement kontexts.
I insert the articles in the attachment.
It's just for your inspiration.

Best regards
Renáta Přichystlalová
