 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

Hi, Petar,

No - no traces of Bronze Age. 
But do you have any analogies?

Best, Selena

Hi, Selena!
Nice find indeed. Any chance that you may have Bronze age there?
Cheers, Petar

I hope you are all doing fine. I have an interesting find from the site of Remesiana, in southern Serbia. It looks like the tip of an arrow. The object was made from some large mammal long bone, upper part is fragmented and also in the basal part it is possible to see that the part used for inserting into the wooden part is fragmented as well. Now, the main problem is that this find comes from disturbed context, so the excavators are uncertain whether this is from the Iron Age or from Late Antiquity. Personally, I have never seen anything remotely resembling this, especially from the Iron Age or Antiquity - and the bone objects from the Iron Age in particular are virtually unknown in the area. 
Any help with analogies, references, etc. is much appreciated. 
thank you, kind regards, Selena
