[Bonetools] bone arrow from Iron Age or Antiquity

[Alice Choyke]

There are Chalcolithic examples of bone/ antler projectile points in
Hungary  from both Transdanubia and the Great Hungarian Plain. If you are
interested I can send you pictures. Other than that, as far as I remember,
only the Mongols used bone projectile points willingly. Outside Hungary
there are many projectile points in bone and antler from Lake Dwelling
sites across the alpine region. Petar - There is nothing like that from any
phase of the Hungarian Bronze Age.

Best,
Alice
